Egypt: Sinai tourist bus explodes, three dead, 27 wounded

UPDATE: The explosion appears to have been caused by a “device” placed on the bus — hence the murderous attack is almost certainly the work of the warriors of Allah:

MOI: 3 Koreans killed, 14 injured. 32 passengers. device was already on bus coming from St Catherine. Went off during a drop off at Hilton.

Egyptian Streets @EgyptianStreets
UPDATE: Three tourists killed, 27 injured in bus blast targeting #Egypt's Red Sea Resort of Taba. Reports indicate those dead are Korean.

This story is just breaking. There is no word yet on whether or not this was a jihad attack, although Ahram Online’s “Related Story” is “Are Egypt’s police outmatched in the war on terrorism?,” and Sinai is a hotspot for jihad activity, and jihadists have targeted tourist enterprises before, so it is more likely to be jihad terror than, say, a faulty fuel pump. Still, accidents do happen, as does jihad.

Note to mainstream media reporters: my headline above is how a headline should be written when there is not 100% certainty about the perpetrator. Once the perp is known, to obfuscate his identity and motives is to abet his criminal act which you people regularly do.

“BREAKING: Sinai tourist bus explodes in Egypt’s Taba, at least 3 dead,” from Ahram Online, February 16:

A tourist bus exploded in Taba, Sinai on Sunday afternoon, Egyptian state TV reported.

Security sources said at least three Korean tourists were killed in the blast and others injured.

Al-Ahram Arabic news site reported that 30 tourists of various nationalities were on the bus when it exploded.

Official death and injury tolls are yet to be revealed.

UK: Muslim gets three years prison dawah for jihad murder plot against Prince Harry

Ashraf Islam is no different from Mujaahid Abu Hamza and Ismail ibn Abdullah, who murdered British soldier Lee Rigby on a London street. The only differences are that Ashraf Islam’s target was higher profile, and that he failed. But both were jihad attempts which the jihadis justified by referring to the alleged atrocities of the British Armed Forces — as all jihads must in the absence of a caliph be justified as defensive, no matter how far-fetched that may be.
“Convicted criminal who plotted to kill Prince Harry jailed for three years,” from The Guardian, February 10 (thanks to Renko):
A convicted criminal who plotted to kill Prince Harry has been jailed.
Ashraf Islam, 31, said he had a “moral right to judge” the royal because he disagreed with the work of the British Armed Forces, of which Prince Harry is a member.
The judge at Isleworth Crown Court in London described Islam’s plot as “vague and unlikely to succeed”, but said he presented a risk to the public.
Islam, of no fixed address but who had been living in west London, was handed a three-year jail term.
Islam pleaded guilty to making a threat to kill Prince Harry, at Uxbridge Magistrates Court in May last year.
He had earlier handed himself in to police and volunteered the information about the plot, defence counsel Roxanne Morrell said.
Judge Richard McGregor-Johnson, the recorder for the royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea, said he would not go over details of Islam’s plot.
But he told the court during the brief hearing: “This was not a threat made in isolation.
“The examination of your computer revealed you conducted research on his (Prince Harry’s) whereabouts and intentions.
“You had given the matter considerable thought.”
He added: “The reason behind that is that you thought he and other serving officers had some moral guilt, and you thought you had a moral right to judge.
“I accept that there is nothing here that could be described as professional plans as to your expressed intentions.
“Your plan was vague and unlikely to succeed.”
But the judge said police would have intervened had Islam, who has previous convictions for dishonesty and for involvement in an attempted robbery, attempted to carry out his plan.
The judge said he considered a longer sentence, but said it would have been deemed “excessive”….
It certainly would have been at a time when Great Britain is doing everything it can to appease Islamic supremacists. Britain’s new masters might have found a longer sentence “Islamophobic.”

Appeals court upholds convictions of three members of North Carolina jihad terrorring

Where did these North Carolina jihad's get the idea that jihad meant warfare against unbelievers? Has anyone investigated the mosque they attended, or were the Feds satisfied by the imam’s saying that he had never seen these men?
“Va.-based federal appeals court upholds convictions of 3 members of NC terror ring,” from the Associated Press, February 4.
