• Taba Hilton was bombed on

• Thursday 07 October 2004

• It was reported to have been

• a bomb in excess of 100kg

• First Reports speak of 30 Dead

• and over 120 injured

• Together with my ex-wife, I spent many months over 12 years in the Taba Hilton. We made many friends among guests and those who worked there. I feel as if somebody has robbed me of an important piece of my home. Taba Hilton was a place where the world met, Jews, Arabs, Europeans and Americans even the occasional visitor from China and Japan. It was a place where Statesmen sought to achieve a lasting peace. It was a place where all found peace and harmony.

• I offer my sincere condolences to all those who have lost someone dear to them or who has been injured.

• It is long past the time that the whole world sees to it that these terror attacks stop,
