CAIRO, (PIC)-- Unknown persons, at an early hour of Thursday morning, blew up the Egyptian gas pipeline that supplies gas to Israel and Jordan. This is the seventh time the same pipeline gets blown up since last February.
Major General Saleh al-Masri, the chief of security of Sinai, said that initial investigation shows that a number of people, whose identities are not yet known, planted an explosive device on the pipe in the Mazar area about 60 km to the west of al-Arish city. The device was detonated by remote control, according to the security chief.
Masri said that this was the first time the saboteurs targeted an underground part of the pipeline at a depth of 2 meters, pointing out that they had to dig a big hole to reach the pipe and plant explosives.Unknown persons blow up Egyptian gas pipeline which supplies Israel and Jordan
