Blast hits Egypt's gas pipeline to Jordan, Israel
|
An Egyptian pipeline carrying gas to Israel and Jordan was bombed Sunday, the 10th such attack this year, but no fire erupted because the line that runs through North Sinai was already disabled, a security source said.
The blast took place in an area five km (three miles) south of the Mediterranean coastal town of al-Arish.
"The attack was carried out using remote-controlled explosives by unidentified assailants who arrived at the scene using four-wheel-drive vehicles," the source said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the series of pipeline attacks since a popular uprising toppled Mubarak in February. One attack took place just before he was ousted.
The latest blast broke the pipe, but no flames were seen as gas pumping has been halted since the last attack on November 28.
