People marching in protest to the blasts in Dahab STORYLINE Shards of glass and bloody body parts littered the ground Tuesday as Egypt reeled from a three-bomb attack that ripped apart a Sinai beach resort promenade at the height of Egypt''s tourist season, killing at least 24 people, including a German child. More than 60 others were hurt. It was the third terror strike on a Sinai resort in less than two years and, once again, it happened as Egyptians were enjoying a national holiday. Security police in Sinai said they had arrested for questioning three people who allegedly left Dahab shortly after the explosions. Victims of three nearly simultaneous bombings that hit the Egyptian beach resort popular with foreigners described their ordeal in the aftermath of the attacks. The bombings, which occurred early on Monday evening in the Sinai seaside city of Dahab, blew out storefronts along a promenade crowded with vacationers and Egyptians enjoying a long weekend marking a national holiday. "We were just a couple of restaurants down and we were having dinner and we heard an explosion, it actually looked like fireworks or some kind of celebration and then two more came really close and then we realised it was bombs," said Grant Smith, a tourist from Alaska. Hours after the bombings, shards of glass lay in piles along with white tiles stained with bloody footprints. Investigators searched the scene of the attacks for forensic evidence.
