The terrorist bomb attack in London on the 7th of July claimed 56 lives and injured several hundred and is on-going. The incidents on the 21st of July, though not resulting in any significant casualties, have emphasized the need for maintaining a state of heightened awareness in response to the threat of terrorism. The latest explosions in Sharm el-Sheikh killing 88 and those in Taba are closely linked. The nature of these incidents indicates that they are consistent with international terrorism.
