CAIRO, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Wednesday near a base of the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) in northern Sinai Peninsula, killing themselves, and gunmen attacked police in Sharqiya, 65 km north of Cairo, security sources said.

    The two suicide bombers detonated at 10: 30 a.m. (0830 GMT) near the MFO base in Al-Gurah, 30 km southeast of Al-Arish on the Mediterranean coast of the peninsula.

    The two explosions injured two peacekeeping soldiers attached to the MFO, according to the pan-Arab al-Jazeera TV channel. Shortly after the suicide bombings in Sinai, unknown gunmen attacked police at a police checkpoint in Sharqiya governorate. No casualties were reported so far.

    The attack on the MFO base was the second in less than 10 months.

    On Aug. 15, 2005, a remote-controlled bomb went off near the camp and injured two female MFO members.

    The MFO is an independent peacekeeping mission created as a result of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the 1979 peace treaty with Israel.

    Since 1982, various nations have contributed military and civilian personnel to the mission.

    The two bombings and attack came two days after deadly bombings in the popular Sinai resort of Dahab, which killed at least 23 people and injured dozens of others. Enditem
