Two mausoleums in North and central Sinai were bombed by unknown assailants late on Sunday, state news agency MENA reported, as militant attacks continue to rock the lawless Sinai Peninsula.

Bombs detonated at the sites of two separate shrines, one in the village of Rawda on the international freeway in northern Sinai and the second in Al-Hasna district in the center of the Peninsula, wrecking the domes and walls of both buildings, MENA added.

No deaths or injuries have been reported.

(Note: These bombs went off at the same time in both vacinities)

Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawy has said the decision to disperse sit-ins supporting Mohamed Morsy is... "final."

Breaking up the sit-ins, which have camped out at al-Nahda Square and Rabea al-Adaweya for over a month, would be undertaken according to law out of security considerations, the prime minister added.

During meetings between Beblawy and several party leaders from the National Salvation Front on Sunday, delegates agreed on the need to end the protests as soon as possible without any human cost.

Popular Current chief and former Nasserist presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabbahi proposed a police cordon around the sit-ins. It was vital the government stuck to the army-led roadmap for political transition, Sabbahi stressed.

Sameh Ashour, head of the Lawyers Syndicate and a NSF leader, said delegates called on the Cabinet to follow the law strictly and end sit-ins at Rabea al-Adaweya and al-Nahda.

Osama al-Ghazaly Harb, head of the Democratic Front Party, said Beblawy agreed with other NSF party leaders to disperse the sit-ins to restore law and order on the streets of Cairo.

From the article:

“Hard-line salafists and jihadists, who believe that the erection of mausoleums for the dead constitutes blasphemy in the Islamic faith, have blown up a number of shrines across Egypt since the outbreak of the January 25 revolution.”

The nomadic Arab Wahhabi hordes demolished, stole and sold (how Islamic of them!) small monuments all over Egypt since Jan 25, 2011, especially during Morsi’s rule. This wasn’t advertised or punished because Morsi agreed with it and knew that the majority of Egyptians will scalp him and his MB....he was right to be scared, look at how many people disagreed with him and his MB lately!
