(The Australian) Three Egyptians will stand trial for murder over the killing of 34 people including 12 Israelis in bombings at Egyptian Red Sea tourist resorts in October, the public prosecutor's office in Cairo said Wednesday. Mohamed Sabah and Mohamed Abdullah Rabaa were arrested two months after attacks on the Taba Hilton hotel. Fugitive Mohamed Ahmed Fulayfel will stand trial in absentia. Prosecutor Maher Abdel Wahed said the attacks were planned by a Palestinian who died in the Taba blast when the bomb went off early. Two other suspects were killed in gun battles with police in February.
