http://hrw.org/english/docs/2004/10/12/egypt9497.htm
The bombings of a hotel and other tourist spots in and around the Egyptian resort town of Taba are crimes against humanity that should be vigorously condemned by civic and religious leaders throughout the Middle East, Human Rights Watch said today. The October 7 assaults are among the latest in a pattern of attacks by armed opposition groups in the Middle East that willfully target civilians.
