Newspaper Bombings in Egypt

I don't really know what to say about this, but I was listening to live reports on BBC radio last night and it's pretty sad. :(

It's horrible. The NYT article says it's one of the biggest holiday weeks in the tourist season. Coptic Easter was Sunday, the anniversary of Israel pulling out of Sinai is today, and this week is a traditional Egyptian spring festival as well. :(

It is awful.

Has anybody claimed responsibility yet?

I don't think anybody's claimed responsibility, but 10 people were detained for questioning, and it's being linked to al-Qaida.
