A possible connection between Israel and the shark attack that left a 70-year-old German woman dead in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday is not unfounded, according to South Sinai Governor Mohamed Abdel Fadil Shousha, quoted by Reuters on Monday.
Some have suggested that the shark attack could have been part of a secret plan by Mossad to harm Egyptian tourism.
"What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark (in the sea) to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question, but it needs time to confirm," Shousha was quoted as saying by state news site egynews.net, according to Reuters.
Egyptians have previously blamed Israel for other problems such as drug and weapon smuggling, and have said it supports media that seek to portray Egypt in a negative light.
According to local diving experts in Sharm el-Sheikh, shark attacks are extremely rare in the area and many were baffled by why so many tourists were attacked in the Red Sea in recent weeks.
"Egypt is full of rumors and one does not know what to believe," Gasser Mohamed, a diving instructor at CFun Divers center in South Sinai told Reuters. "I see that there are a lot of sharks in the sea and the possible rarity of tuna fish due to over-fishing seems to be causing the attacks.

Hey the democrats have spent the last ten years blaming G W BUSH for everything that went wrong, so believe me the far left of any nation is capable of unbelievable paranoid delusions.

The only reason a muzzie country would throw out an allegation so obviously insane is because they believe their people are dumb enough to believe an allegation so obviously insane. Israeli trained attack sharks - sheesh.

When asked by the anchor how the shark entered Sharm El Sheikh waters, he burst out, no, who let them in.
Nobody had to let them in. It was the IAF flying sharks, Johan squadron.

Egypt just hired Helen Thomas as a consulting National Ichthyologist.
She suggested Israeli-trained sharks are out to control the oceans!!

The secret is now out, the Jews are training sharks to attack on command. It’s just hard to believe that a shark would be willing to do such a nasty thing.

These people are certifyably insane. I am sick to death of listening to their sick excuses. They are losers, nobody likes them, they are totally unequipped to deal with the troubles that normal people encounter and handle on a daily basis.

I seriously doubt this was a Jewish shark. I mean there is no way that tourist is Kosher. For example "Of the things that are in the waters, you may eat anything that has fins and scales. Lev. 11:9; Deut. 14:9. " German tourists rarely have scales.

Reports indicate the sharks have one weakness. They’ve been trained never to attack on a Saturday.

Hey they said that the primary food of the Great White Shark is seals. I just never thought they meant US Navy SEALs. Those sharks are tougher than I thought.

Clearly the Mossad implanted the stuxnet virus in the shark’s brain.
