Dozens killed in Egyptian blasts

At least 36 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in a string of explosions in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, police said.
Residents said the first explosion appeared to have taken place in the Old Market area, which includes shops that are popular with tourists.

Other blasts were heard in the nearby area of Naama Bay. Witnesses said a four-star hotel was heavily damaged.

Preliminary reports said the blasts might have been caused by car bombs.

The first blast, which took place shortly after 0100 local time (2200 GMT), shook windows some distance away, and smoke was seen rising over the area, residents said.

Well I don’t really know what to say about this, except things seem increasingly, rather than decreasingly dangerous. Here’s hoping the toll doesn’t get any higher.
