    BEIJING, Oct.9 (Xinhuanet) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit says it is too early to blame any organization for the bombings in three Red Sea resorts on Thursday night, which killed about 29 people.

    Gheit says results of investigations into the blasts will be announced once completed, authorities from the countries whose nationals died or were injured, will be informed immediately, China Radio International reported Saturday.

    He says he hasn't received any intelligence that the terrorist group Al Qaida was involved in the explosions.

    Meanwhile, a spokesman of Hamas denied any links with the Taba bombing.

    The bomb hit the Hilton Taba hotel in Egypt's Sinai Peninsular, a popular resort for Israeli tourists.

    Two more bombs hit holiday camps in Ras al-Sultan and Nuwaiba, not far from Taba.
