| Clashes between the army and saboteurs at Sinai gas plant |
| 2012-01-27 |
| The military has countered an attack on a natural gas plant in North Sinai Governorate. The plant is located 10km south of the city of Arish. Masked men in two four-wheel cars approached the station and attempted to plant explosives, but found the armed forces and local guards lying in wait. The gunfight is ongoing, eyewitnesses said. After repairing damage to the pipelines caused by a series of bombings,Egypt resumed pumping eight days ago. Last year, militants in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula targeted natural gas pipelines nearly a dozen times. The pipelines supply consumers in Israel and Jordan. |
