Taba culprits
5 arrested for Taba blasts... Egypt says a Palestinian was the ringleader. 

According to AP: "The government identified the mastermind of the attacks as Ayad Said Saleh, a Palestinian who had lived in the Sinai and who died in the Oct. 7 explosion at the hotel along with a fellow plotter, Egyptian Suleiman Ahmed Saleh Flayfil. The pair, identified through DNA testing, were trying to leave the scene but their timed explosives detonated prematurely, the statement said... Two other suspects were said to be at large: Mohamed Ahmed Saleh Flayfil, brother of Suleiman Flayfil, and Hammad Gaman Gomah. Mohamed Flayfil was accused of carrying out the attack on one of the campgrounds and Gomah was accused of carrying out the third bombing."

Meanwhile, the bodies of 2 more Russians who died in the blasts are identified...

Plus, the Guardian provides plenty of details regarding Egypt's plans for more troops at the border with Israel -- a reaction to both Sharon's Gaza plan and the blasts at Taba.
