Sabotage to the Arab Gas Pipeline has resumed once again following the latest popular uprising in Egypt. According to Egyptian security officials, suspected Islamic militants bombed the pipeline just south of the city of el-Arish in the Sinai Peninsula.
The attacks occurred early on the morning of July 7, hitting two points which resulted in fires on the line. The fires were quickly extinguished according to the reports, but gas flows were disrupted.
The pipeline, over the past two years, has been attacked more than a dozen times.
