  • Story Text: People gather at the site of one of the bomb attacks
    in Sharm El-Sheikh to light candles in memory of the
    victims of the blast.




    Hundreds of people ignored the bomb-scares and
    sombre atmosphere in Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday (July 24, 2005)
    afternoon to join a loud peace demonstration in the streets
    of the tourist resort.

    Local Egyptians were joined by both foreigners who work
    in the area as well as tourists whose holidays have been
    shadowed by Saturday's (July 21) bomb blasts that killed 88
    and wounded 200.

    The demonstrators waved banners with peace slogans and
    chanted as they walked past the blast sites.

    Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said on Saturday the
    attacks, targeting a showpiece of Egypt's tourism industry,
    would only serve to stiffen his resolve to combat
    militants.

    In the evening on Sunday Egyptians and foreign tourists
    gathered at the site of one of the bomb blast and lit
    candles in memory of the victims of the atrocity.
