Egyptian Official: Israel Could Be Behind Deadly Shark Attack

An Egyptian official believes that Israel's intelligence agency might be behind the fatal shark attack of a German tourist in Sinai over the weekend, the Jerusalem Post reports.

"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," South Sinai Gov. Muhammad Abdel Fadil Shousha told egynews.net.

Israeli officials told the Jerusalem Post that the claims were ludicrous and would not comment.

Egyptian authorities have reopened some Red Sea beaches that had been closed to swimmers after an unusual series of shark attacks over the past week.

Swimmers were being allowed back into the water of several bays at Sharm el-Sheikh, a resort at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula that is a renowned reef diving spot. Diving remained restricted to professionals.

Shark attacks at Egypt's Red Sea resorts are rare, and three shark experts from the U.S. are trying to determine what is behind them.

Besides the death, four other swimmers and snorkelers were badly injured.

On Tuesday, Ziad al-Basel of Egypt's Chamber of Diving and Watersports, said a limited number of bays were reopened for swimmers.

Update to the story, a Serbian tourist apparently killed the shark in question during a drunken high-dive.

"Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it"..."Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn't make as much splash as we thought he would"...

The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning

And apparently Dragan is currently recovering from alcohol poisoning...I'm not surprised.

Well, when your team sells its soul to the devil for Brett Favre, this is what happens.

I think this is more along the lines to selling your soul to the devil.

Interesting side note--Andy Reid is a Mormon.

WTF are you talking about? You're saying God is punishing the Vikings by sending a blizzard that makes the POS Metrodome cave in because Favre is on the team? I would say this is what happens when you name your field after Hubert H Humphrey.

Favre brought the team closer to the Superbowl than 28 other teams AND they have made a couple hundred million by having him on the team...selling $25myn in merchandise the first week after the initial announcement that he was coming to Minnesota. It was a brilliant business decision in spite of the shitty season they are having this year, most of which can be directly contributed to Childress. The owners of the business fired the coach...not the quarterback.

A conservative member of the British Parliament has made a move to block all pornography from reaching Internet subscribers in the UK.

The British government plans to meet with Internet service providers in the country next month to discuss the idea of censoring all Internet connections and requiring users to specifically request access to pornographic materials from their ISPs.

Reading fail. Unless Hillary Clinton lost 60 pounds and 25 years and had some serious plastic surgery done.

No failure here, apparently you're not allowed to use the name P a r i s H i l t o n on bops.net as it automatically changes to the uglier blonde's name....who knew

Agreed, his comment threw me off; but even Paris Hilton having a 125 MotoGP team is mind-boggling! This comment really made me laugh...

She will not be riding a motorcycle in competition herself

Still, it's cool, as Michael Jordan owns Michael Jordan Motorsports, which fields teams in the AMA American Superbike series for riders Roger Lee Hayden (Nicky's brother) and Ben Bostrom, so it's not unheard of!

Plus, did she buy some tits, or is what little she have stuffed to high heaven? Dude on the right is gettin' an eyeful!

I'm totally okay with Jordan owning/running a team. He at least has an interest in the sport. It's sad that racing has come to this; being so broke that they must seek sponsorship from no-talent ass clowns like her and then having putting her under contract requiring her to attend the races.

I will concede however that while she does have a great rack, she's better suited to carrying an umbrella and pretending she knows what's going on around her.

It's just money and cheap advertising, MotoGP is losing a lot of sponsors and hers has some it wants to spend flashing her new perfume or whatever the fuck she's selling. It sucks, but if it keeps the sport alive then so be it...

Ok....horrible story, but what about the hat???

Firefighter Pat Quagliariello charged in hit-and-run death of Brooklyn immigrant

An NYPD detective took his brother to a firehouse instead of a police station after the smoke eater mowed down a pedestrian in Brooklyn and left him for dead, authorities say.

Pat Quagliariello vanished from the firehouse and waited at least four hours before turning himself in at the 62nd Precinct stationhouse.

Prosecutors charged him Tuesday with criminally negligent homicide, speeding, leaving the scene of a fatal accident and using a mobile phone while driving. Guatemalan immigrant Manuel Tzajguachiac, 25, was killed.

"He was texting and speeding when he struck the pedestrian," Assistant District Attorney Craig Esswein said at the firefighter's arraignment.

Detective Anthony Quagliariello wasn't disciplined for picking up his brother after the 12:30 a.m. wreck on Oct. 10 at 20th Ave. and 65th St.

"The detective was forthcoming in reporting what happened, and there's nothing at this point to indicate that he interfered with the investigation or prosecution of his brother," Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said.

It wasn't clear if Pat Quagliariello was drinking before the Bensonhurst crash. After his initial arrest, he admitted just that he owned the BMW SUV. Then he got a lawyer and clammed up, police sources said.

Prosecutors said Tzajguachiac, who worked two jobs, crossed against the light.

Quagliariello, who joined the FDNY in 2004, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held on $50,000 bail. He was suspended for 30 days after the wreck and has since been assigned to desk duty.

The firefighter's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, told the court that Tzajguachiac had a blood-alcohol content of .24 - three times the legal limit. Prosecutors didn't challenge the statement.

Esswein said Tzajguachiac's DNA was found on Quagliariello's vehicle and vowed to win the case.

"There will be a jail sentence - an upstate jail sentence," Esswein said.

Honestly, I'd cut the guy some slack. With names like: Victim: Tzajgauchiac, Vehicle Operator: Quagliariello, he probably was stuck for the 4 hours it took him to get his brother to the police station just figuring out how to fill out the accident report.
