CAIRO, Aug. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Egyptian security forces have arrested another three suspects linked to the July 23 Sharm el-Sheikh bombings, Egypt's semi-official Al Ahram Arab daily reported Sunday.

    "Egypt's security agencies uncovered the terrorist cell which carried out the Sharm el-Sheikh bombings on July 23 and three people were arrested," the report said, adding that search is underway for the others.

    Acting on a tip-off, security forces raided a Palestinian-owned farm in Al-Arish, some 260 km northeast of the capital Cairo.

    They uncovered a ton of explosives and detained a guard on the farm who led the police to the other suspects, said the report.

    The three were suspected of helping and preparing for the bombings.

    A string of deadly bombings rocked the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on July 23, killing at least 64 people.

    Suspecting the attacks were carried out by a home grown terrorist cell in the Sinai area with international support, Egyptian security forces have since launched a massive manhunt in the region.

    On Friday, two Egyptian policemen were wounded in a separate incident near the Ismailia city, some 120 km northeast of Cairo, ina shootout with a group of armed men.

    Two suspects, a man and a woman, have been arrested with possible links to the Sharm el-Sheikh attacks, police said. Enditem
