CAIRO, Egypt -- A series of explosions, including four car bombs, struck luxury hotels in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik early Saturday, killing at least 45 people, witnesses and police said.
Saturday's explosions _ the deadliest attack in Egypt in nearly a decade _ shook windows more than five miles away. Smoke and fire rose from Naama Bay, a main strip of beach hotels in the desert city at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, which is also popular with European and Israeli tourists, witnesses said.
Certainly this will get less coverage than the bombings in London, despite that the fact that in many ways the bombings in Egypt might actually have greater long term significance. I'm not saying that's necessarily "right" or "wrong," but I do think that responsible news outlets should at least have an understanding of why they will give it significantly less coverage.
