Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his wife visited Tuesday some of the injured people who are receiving treatment in Cairo hospitals after Monday's triple bombings in the Red Sea resort of Dahab, the official MENA news agency reported.

Mubarak gave instructions to the health authorities and the Armed Forces to offer all medical care to the injured and facilitate the transfer to Cairo of any urgent case in need of special medical treatment, said MENA.

The president also held a meeting at a hospital, which was attended by Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazef and other senior officials, to discuss the situation and the results of ongoing investigations.

Earlier in the day, the Egyptian health authorities transferred 31 injured people in Dahab bombings to the capital.

Among them, 26 Egyptians, two Australians, one Swiss and two Danish, were carried to Cairo hospitals by a military airplane and air ambulance planes, said the report.

They were originally treated in hospitals in Sharm el-Sheikh, another popular Red Sea resort in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

Dahab, located on the Gulf of Aqaba on the eastern side of the Sinai peninsula, is some 550 km east of Cairo.

The Dahab bombings killed at least 23 people and injured scores of others, Egyptian security sources said.

The deadly explosions took place almost simultaneously at around 7:15 p.m. (1715 GMT) in Dahab, some 85 km north of Sharm el- Sheikh.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.

It was the second such attacks in Sinai in less than one year.

On July 23, 2005, Sharm el-Sheikh was hit by three bomb explosions, leaving at least 60 people dead and more than 200 wounded.
