CAIRO (Reuters) - Saboteurs blew up a Sinai pipeline on Thursday, halting gas supplies from Egypt to Israel and Jordan in the sixth such attack since the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian security sources and witnesses said.
Two blasts were set off by remote control, one in the Mazar area, 30 km (18 miles) west of al-Arish, and a smaller one near a pumping station west of the northern Sinai town. Pumping had only resumed on Oct. 24 after repairs from a previous attack.
