A female suicide bomber is believed to have taken part in the terrorist attack on the Red Sea hotel in which 32 persons died, Israeli and Egyptian military officials said Saturday. A woman, whose decapitated body was found at the back of the Hilton, is thought to have been acting with two other terrorists who rammed explosives-laden cars into the front of the Hilton Hotel in the Sinai resort town of Taba on Thursday. Egyptian investigators said they suspected eight to 10 terrorists targeting Israeli tourists carried out the attacks, possibly slipping in from Saudi Arabia or Jordan on speedboats.
