Egyptian pipeline hit by fourth explosive attack since January | World news | guardian.co.uk
"The pipeline has long been a source of political controversy in Egypt, particularly since the signing of a 20-year gas export deal with Israel in 2008. The final years of Hosni Mubarak's rule were marked by widespread opposition to the agreement, both on the streets and in the courts. Campaigners claim that corrupt business dealings enabled Israel to buy gas at below-market prices, and argue that it was wrong to provide energy supplies to the county while it continued its blockade on the Gaza Strip."
