22 killed in Egypt bomb explosions

Cairo, Egypt, April 25. (AP): Three terrorist bombs hit the Egyptian resort of Dahab at the height of the tourist season Monday, killing at least 22 people and wounding more than 150 in the third terror strike on a Sinai resort in less than two years.

The attackers struck a day after al-Qaida chieftain Osama bin Laden issued a taped warning that ordinary Western citizens had become legitimate targets of his terrorist organization because of their support of governments that he said were conducting a ``crusader war against Islam.''

President Hosni Mubarak, whose economy is heavily dependent on tourism, said the blasts were a ``sinful terrorist action.''
