When they rounded up the usual suspects, Egyptian security forces must have missed a few of the terrorists responsible for the attack at Dahab—because today there’s been another string of bombings: Sinai hit by fresh bomb attacks.

Two suicide bombers attacked security personnel and foreign peacekeepers in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, but did not cause any injuries to their targets.

The first bomber blew himself up as members of the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) were passing in a car.

A second attacker on a bicycle tried to detonate his bomb near a police car which had gone to the scene.

The attacks come two days after a triple bombing on the Sinai resort town of Dahab, which killed 23 people.

The Big Pharaoh has more info; contrary to the BBC’s report, he says there were injuries in the attack on peacekeepers: Sinai Hit Again.

UPDATE at 4/26/06 8:56:22 am:

More at Tomanbay, including a map showing the locations of the new attacks. (Hat tip: foreign devil.)
