    CAIRO, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian health authorities have transferred 31 injured people from the triple bombings in the Red Sea resort of Dahab to the capital Cairo for medical treatment, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported on Tuesday.

    The wounded, including 26 Egyptians, two Australians, one Swiss and two Danish, were carried to Cairo hospitals by a military airplane and air ambulance planes.

    Dahab, located on the Gulf of Aqaba on the eastern side of the Sinai peninsula, is some 550 km east of Cairo.

    The Dahab bombings on Monday evening killed at least 23 people and injured more than 62 others, according to Egyptian security sources.

    The Egyptian Interior Ministry said that three foreigners were among those dead, including a young German boy.

    The deadly explosions took place almost simultaneously at around 7:00 p.m. local time (1700 GMT) in Dahab, some 85 km north of Sharm el-Sheikh, another popular Red Sea resort in Sinai.

    No one or group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombings. The triple bombings were the second such attack in Sinai in less than one year.

    On July 23, 2005, Sharm el-Sheikh was hit by three bomb explosions, leaving at least 60 people dead and more than 200 others wounded. Enditem
