[oberliner]

Egyptian security forces thwarted a Palestinian terrorist attack against Israeli tourists in Sinai on Thursday, the Egyptian Interior Ministry said.

One Palestinian suspect was arrested and another ran away when security forces confronted them 1.5 kilometres from Sinai's border with the Gaza Strip, the ministry said.

Abdel Shafie Jabr Maraheel, who is suspected of smuggling explosives into Sinai, was seriously wounded when he threw a homemade explosive at the police, the ministry added.

None of the policemen was injured, but the second suspect managed to escape.
