Breaking: Gas pipeline in Egypt explodes again
This is the second time in two months. Something tells me it's not a coincidence. A pipeline that sends natural gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan exploded early Wednesday morning, but the cause was not immediately known.Of course it's 'not clear.' What is clear is that it's connected to people who want to stop selling gas to Israel.
No injuries were immediately reported.
The explosion took place in a suburb of the Egyptian Sinai town of El Arish. In February, a gas pipeline in El Arish that sent natural gas to Jordan was set on fire, officials said.
The state-run MENA news agency said the February incident was a suspected terrorist attack.
It was not clear whether that incident was connected to the political unrest in Egypt.
UPDATE 12:45 PM
Wednesday morning's attack was apparently carried out by 'unknown saboteurs.'

Of course.
Did any one really think Egypt's revolution would lessen hostility towards Israel there?
