Re: CAIRO (Reuters) - Fifty people died and 200 were wounded when car bombs ripped through a bazaar and tourist hotels in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday in Egypt's worst attack in nearly a decade.

The Sinai peninsula is not under Egypt's military rule. It's sort of a no-man's-land inhabited by Beduins. Ever since the end of the 1973 Yom Kippur war, Israel has demanded that Sinai remain a demilitarized zone under UN supervision --and an easy target for Mossad:

UNTSO observers in the Egypt-Israel sector are based in Ismailia (Egypt) and conduct patrols along the Suez Canal and throughout the Sinai peninsula except for an area under the independent (non-UN) Multinational Force and Observers (MFO). In addition, UNTSO has been maintaining the machinery for the supervision of the Armistice Agreements in those sectors where no peaceful settlement has been achieved.

The Chief of the UNTSO office in Beirut and Damascus is the nominal Chairman of the Israel-Lebanon and Israel-Syria Mixed Armistice Commissions, respectively. Although, Israel denounced the Armistice Agreements with Lebanon and Syria after the war of 1967, the United Nations position has been that there is no provision in the Agreements for unilateral termination of their application.
