Suspected attack on Egyptian gas pipeline halts supply to Israel
An explosion went off at a gas terminal in Egypt's northern Sinai peninsula early this morning, setting off a fire that could be seen dozens of miles away, officials and witnesses said. No injuries were reported and the blaze was quickly brought under control after the gas flow was shut off. The governor of the region, Abdel Wahab Mabrouk, said he suspected "sabotage", but provided no details. The blast came as a popular uprising engulfs Egypt, where anti-government protesters have been demanding the ousting of longtime president Hosni Mubarak for the past two weeks.
