I am confused. Apparently, these attacks were committed by terrorists, not militants, as Reuters claimed yesterday.

Other "militant" and "dissident" groups are running for cover, expecting a nasty backlash like Al Qaeda saw after the bombings in Jordan.

Egyptian authorities, already struggling with elusive terror cells in the rugged Sinai Peninsula, moved quickly Tuesday — arresting 30 men in the triple bombings that ripped apart a resort town on a tranquil holiday evening.

Radical Muslim groups moved just as rapidly to distance themselves from the Dahab attacks, which killed 24 people. The leader of Egypt's banned Muslim brotherhood condemned them as "aggression on human souls created by God."

The militant Palestinian Hamas organization called them a "criminal attack which is against all human values."

The attacks killed 24, including 21 Egyptians and a 10 year old German and a European infant.
