    SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, July 23 (Xinhuanet) -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak arrived in this Red Sea resort Saturday after it washit by three successive explosions at midnight.

    Mubarak was welcomed upon arrival by Interior Minister Habib elAdli, Health Minister Mohamed Awad Tag Eddin and Governor of South Sinai Mustafa Afifi.

    The president headed to Ghazala Hotel, one of the sites hit by the blasts in Naama Bay, the main strip where most of luxury hotels are located.

    Adli and Tag Eddin briefed Mubarak on circumstances of the explosions and measures that have been taken so far to deal with the situation.

    Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazef also toured the sites and visited the injured at hospitals earlier in the day.

    Three powerful bomb explosions hit the famous tourist resort early Saturday, killing at least 75 people and wounding over 150.

    An al-Qaida-linked group has claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement posted on an Islamic website.

    Interior Minister Adli said that some clues have been found that the Sharm el-Sheikh blasts might be linked to the Taba bombings on Oct. 7, 2004, which killed 34 and wounded over 100. Enditem
