The highlight of Turkish newspapers yesterday was the al-Qaeda linked
deadly terrorist bombings in Egypt.

political party leader in Switzerland and the deputy prime minister's
warning to certain countries that he claims are supporting terrorists.
Al-Zabani hits Egypt:
Al-Zabani, a group linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, claimed

resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing at least 88 people and injuring
more that 200, Hürriyet reported.

German, Italian and Egyptian citizens, said the paper.
The deadliest attack targeted Ghazala Gardens Hotel where a suicide
bomber rammed the lobby of the hotel with a car loaded with bombs,
killing 64 people.
Al-Qaeda terror in Egypt, screamed the Radikal headlined.
The paper said world leaders displayed their negative reactions
following the bombings. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said the
fight against terrorism should not let up. Russian President Vladimir
Putin said the only answer is unity and solidarity, while Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his call for a
joint fight against terrorism.
Zaman said many tourists, including Turks, who were in Egypt on
vacation are leaving the country in droves and European tour operators
are canceling upcoming trips.
Terror does not respect any religion, headlined Dünden
Bugüne Tercüman, listing bombings in New York, Istanbul,
Madrid and London. The paper said most of the 88 fatalities were
Muslims.
Century of terrorism, headlined Milliyet, reporting that one Turk was
injured and four are missing.
Workers' Party leader detained abroad:
Workers' Party (İP) leader Dogu Perinçek w detained in
Switzerland where he went to attend activities held for the occasion
of the 82nd anniversary of the Lausanne Treaty, a peace settlement
which signed in 1923 between the Allied Powers and Turkey, Cumhuriyet
reported.
Swiss authorities reportedly detained Perinçek due to his
remarking at a press conference that the Armenian genocide was an
international lie. In Switzerland, denying the alleged genocide is
considered a crime, said the paper.
