Saw you at Sinai?
Like I said, today is travel day. Leaving for the airport in a couple of hours.A tour bus carrying a group of South Koreans was attacked near St. Catherine's monastery (near Mount Sinai) on Sunday. Three South Koreans and the Egyptian driver have been killed, and 15 wounded tourists have been transferred some 200 miles to Eilat (Israel) for competent medical care
Let's go to the videotape.
The ministry said the bus was traveling from St. Catherine's Monastery, a popular tourist destination in the south Sinai, to nearby Israel when it was attacked.Look at a map, dude. South Sinai is nowhere near Israel.
It did not state the cause of the blast. But two security sources said an explosive device planted either inside or near the bus was used.
Magen David Adom was waiting to receive as many as 15 wounded tourists from the Egyptian side of the border and evacuate them to Eilat.\
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed that five people who were seriously wounded in the blast were transferred to Joseftal Hospital in Eilat for intensive care treatment.
...
State television showed a photograph of the bus. Its windows were blown out and the roof had been partially torn off. Plumes of black smoke billowed from the site of the explosion on a palm tree-lined boulevard.I don't understand why anyone would want to visit that country.

I think the bus was attacked in Taba, on it's way back from Southern Sinai. Hence it was nearby.
