CAIRO, Egypt - As many as seven explosions, including at least four car bombs, struck Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik early Saturday, hitting several hotels packed with European and Egyptian tourists and killing at least 45 people in the deadliest attack in Egypt in nearly a decade, witnesses and police said.

Saturday's explosions at 1:15 a.m. shook windows a mile 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, also popular with Israeli tourists, witnesses said.

Dazed tourists milled about the darkened streets as Egyptian rescuers searched for dead and injured and ambulances sped away with victims.

My friends are going on their HM in Egypt in September!
I kinda wish they'd reconsider.
