Terrorists blew up a gas pipeline near the Gaza border in Egypt.
The pipeline supplies gas to Jordan and Israel.

An Egyptian official blamed the blast on foreign elements.
The AFP reported:

Unknown saboteurs attacked an Egyptian pipeline supplying gas to Jordan, forcing authorities to switch off gas supply from a twin pipeline to Israel, an official told AFP.

The attackers used explosives against the pipeline in the town of Lihfen in northern Sinai, near the Gaza Strip, the official said. It was initially thought the pipeline to Israel was attacked.

“The pipeline to Jordan has been attacked and the supply to Israel has been cut off,” the official said.

The army has taken precautionary measures to stop the fire from spreading, the official added, as rescue services were putting out the fire.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible, or whether the attack was linked to the deadly protests against President Hosni Mubarak’s rule, which entered their 12th day on Saturday.

“We still don’t have details of how it happened,” he added.

How soon before the Jews get blamed?… Or have they already?

    The Muslim Brotherhood has opposed the sale of natural gas to Israel. Muslim Brotherhood attampted to assassinate Suleiman just as they did Sadat 30 years ago. These are the people Obama Supports. Jihadi Terrorists . Our own government agencies and media are being ordered to create a new terrorist regime built on the hatred of jews, AND EVERYONE OBEYS OBAMA. Nobody resigns. Nobody hangs their head in SHAME.

    yes, pray for Israel, but pray harder for America, because Israel will nuke
    the crap outta them, whereas we will apologize fer making them so angry
    they nuked US (oe: like O et al believe what happened on 9/11 was our
    fault, and only white men & America are responsible for slavery)..

    Blame the Jews! Blame Israel! Everybody knows that blowing up the pipeline that supplies Israel with a vital energy need is just the sort of devious trick that the sneaky Israelites would pull. Man, that’s REALLY devious.
    Like . . . . nonsensically, implausibly devious.

    Putting out the fire means closing the valve that shuts off the flow of gas in the pipeline. This pipeline also supplies Syria and Jordan, so it’s not just Israel. It has been sabotaged before, and the ‘Bedouin’ tribes who live in the area were blamed the last time it happened.

    Foreign elements…

    Honestly? They might be absolutely right.

    It wouldn’t be the first time that Iran and others send their jihadis to other countries to do the dirty work.

    Tunnels may be traveled both ways and egyptians looked the other way for years and now they reap what they sowed. No one knows how many hamas operatives are involved in cairo and alexandria. Muslims should know better than anyone that you can not trust having terrorists in your camp.

    How long after they shut off the flow does it take for the residual fuel to burn off?

    Uh, they *did* turn off the flow… right? Maybe someone should check on that.

    Mubarak did not resign according to Haaretz — top leaders of the party have but he is going to stay on to see a peaceful transition. If any of you guys check out this article in Haaretz be sure to look at this new development in Jerusalem — its so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

    Regarding the rhetorical “blame the Jews!” in several posts above, you need to be more specific: do you mean blame the Israeli Jews or the American Jews?

    Just to be clear, the pipeline that was blown up carries gas to Jordan and eastern Israel. The main pipeline that carries gas to Ashkelon is buried very deep and encased in fortified concrete. I read an assessment that said that the main, fortified pipeline would be very difficult to sabotage. A major digging operation would have to be undertaken to get to it. (I have to search for the link, and, anyway it was in Hebrew.)

    During the last few years, Israel discovered extremely large natural gas fields in the Mediterranean. Israel gets about 60% of its gas from these fields. Now, there will be pressure to further develop these fields to become self-sufficient.

    bg — there’s understanding Obama’s potential scorched earth ME Policy and actually watching carried it out without question from the Media or Republicans. Cut us a little slack here. Most of us are breathless at the speed with which he has done all this. The sound of silence from everyone who should be opposed to this is deafening.

    Obama is in no hurry for Mubarak to leave the seen — he wants him to run the transition to Democracy. This way if it goes well he will take the credit and if it goes badly which is more than likely it will be all Mubarak’s fault.

    Understand that this was most likely done by the Bedouin against the Egyptian Army. Since the Sinai was turned over to Egypt the nomads have been kicked around. They Egyptians were attempting to force them to take Egyptian passports if they attempted to leave the Sinai. They are nomads. They don’t want to be Egyptian. They want to roam free like they have forever. This action was not against the Israelis. Trust me. At the very beginning of this rebellion the Bedouin were shooting it out with the police in the northern Sinai while the city Arabs were demonstrating in the streets. They are brave people.

    Who is John Galt?
