Leap in Gasoline Prices Hits Commuters Where It Hurts
by Chana Ya'ar JAN 2,11

Commuters got hit in the wallet on Sunday no matter how they traveled to work and school, be it by private vehicle or as a conscientious public transportation rider.
Prices rose at the pump on Sunday as the cost of a liter of 95 octane gasoline jumped by 6.41 percent.A liter of gas for drivers who pump their own on the self-serve side are now paying 43 agorot more, for a total of NIS 7.14 per liter. There was no increase on the sales tax, which will stand at about 13 agorot per liter for the time being.In Eilat, where there is no sales tax, the price of a liter of unleaded 95 octane gasoline is now NIS 6.17 per liter, an increase of 6.38 percent – 37 agorot per liter -- over last month.

Bus Lines Also Hike Prices
In Tel Aviv and Gush Dan, where the Dan company buses preside, urban bus rides will also cost more: travelers now must pay NIS 6 instead of NIS 5.80 for a one-way ride.
In Jerusalem and Haifa, cities where the Egged bus company serves consumers, city travel has also risen by 20 agorot, from NIS 6.20 to NIS 6.40. In Be'er Sheva, where Metropolitan is the primary urban bus company, the price of a ride rose from NIS 4.0 to NIS 4.10.A monthly commuter bus pass (chofshi chodeshi) in Jerusalem and Haifa now costs NIS 252 instead of NIS 244. In cities located in the Gush Dan district, the price of a monthly bus pass rose from NIS 215 to NIS 222, also effective Sunday.

EU hails kickoff for new financial surveillance bodies
JAN 2,11

BRUSSELS (AFP) – The European Union hailed the 2011 kickoff this weekend of a series of new post-crisis pan-European watchdogs aimed at tightening regulation of the finance industry.Europe is learning from the crisis, said Michel Barnier, the European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services.It is giving itself a new apparatus of surveillance and supervision -- to detect problems early and to act in time.The bodies include the Frankfurt-based European Systemic Risk Board and a trio of authorities for banks, insurance and stock, respectively based in London, Frankfurt and Paris.The role of the Frankfurt-based Board, to be headed initially by the European Central Bank chief, is to alert and make recommendations to European Union countries or supervisory authorities whenever it detects threats to financial stability, such as a housing or stock market bubble.The three other authorities will be able to propose Europe-wide technical standards, mediate between authorities of member states, temporarily ban or restrict trade in financial products, and urge national authorities to take measures if necessary.Those bodies are the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).The new surveillance structure, Barnier said in a statement, was the control tower and the radar screens that the financial sector needs.We are putting into effect in practical terms the lessons learnt from the crisis,he added.

Estonian cashpoints begin pumping out euro-notes-Tallinn skyline. This wasn't the glittering euro entrance you were promised Krugman said (Photo: Steve Jurvetson) ANDREW RETTMAN 01.01.2011 @ 15:17 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Cashpoints in Estonia began issuing euro banknotes at around 20 minutes past midnight local time on Saturday (1 January) in a development marking the fourth phase of expansion for the troubled single currency.Holding his clutch of banknotes outside a specially-installed cashpoint near a new year's eve gala venue, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip told press:It is a small step for the eurozone and a big step for Estonia ... We are proud to be a euro zone member state.For Estonia, the choice is to be inside the club, among the decision makers, or stay outside of the club. We prefer to act as club members.Eighty five million euro coins and 12 million banknotes went into circulation in Estonia on Saturday and money in bank accounts was automatically converted from the kroon to the euro at the stroke of midnight. People will be able to exchange kroons at Estonian high-street banks until the end of the year and at the Estonian Central Bank with no time limit. Meanwhile, Estonian Central Bank head Andres Lipstok will take part in his first meeting as a member of the European Central Bank's council on 13 January.Estonia is the first former Soviet republic to join the currency club. Launched in 2002 with 15 members, it welcomed former Communist country Slovenia in 2007, followed by Cyprus and Malta in 2008 and by Slovakia in 2009. Estonia is joining the currency area at a troubled time both for its own economy and for the euro itself, however.

Unemployment in the small country of 1.3 million people stands at 18 percent and its GDP has crashed in the past few years. In the wider euro-area, if Italy or Spain require a Greek or Irish-type bailout in 2011, the future of the single currency could be at risk.European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso and EU parliament head Jerzy Buzek, were unequivocally upbeat in their Estonia statements.Estonia's entry means that over 330 million Europeans now carry euro notes and coins in their pockets. It is a strong signal of the attraction and stability that the euro brings to Member States of the European Union, Mr Barroso said in a statement.The euro is a common good ... [it] is both a world currency and one of the pillars of the European Union,Mr Buzek noted.Nobel-winning US economist Paul Krugman wrote on his blog 40 minutes before the currency changeover, however: Congratulations to Estonia - but condolences too. This wasn't the glittering euro entrance you were promised.For her part, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in her New Year's address, noted the political importance of the single currency and voiced concern over what the new year will bring.Europe stands in these months in the middle of a great test, she said on national TV. The euro is much more than a currency ... A united Europe is the guarantor for our peace and freedom. The euro forms the foundation of our prosperity.

Dichter: No Arab Return, Erekat Will Swallow his Words
by Maayana Miskin JAN 3,11

MK Avi Dichter, former Minister of Internal Security, spoke to Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language news service Sunday regarding negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. The discussion focused on senior PA negotiator Saeb Erekat, who recently told the British daily The Guardian that Israel must recognize the Arab right of return if it wants peace.According to Erekat, the right of return should apply not only to Arabs who fled pre-state Israel during the War of Independence, but also to every one of their descendants, making a total of seven million people eligible to return to Israel. In Bosnia and in Palestine, the return of refugees has been considered absolutely necessary for the stability of peace,he said.

Erekat's remarks are unprecedented, but not overly worrisome, Dichter said. While PA leaders have often voiced demands for return in the Arab press, I don't remember [seeing] such extreme statements from such a senior figure,he said.However, he said, The right of return will not be included in the peace process... Talk about the right of return is meaningless. Everyone understands that there will not be a solution that includes return, no matter who says what.Erekat's statements were manipulative, and completely baseless, Dichter continued. Erekat will need to swallow his words, he said. He has taken back many things he said in the past, and he will have to take this back as well.

No Peace Without Gaza
Dichter warned of a systematic, organized fraud perpetrated by the PA regarding negotiations. Ever since the overthrow in Gaza, they've been drawing all attention to Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, and ignoring Gaza completely,he said.The subject of Gaza is a central issue that must not be ignored – not by Israel, not by the United States, not by the Quartet, and not by the Arab nations, he continued. Gaza is an abscess that must be burst – either by the Arab nations bringing PA control back to Gaza, or by Israel toppling the terrorist infrastructure in a process that will last for years.We cannot continue to have an Iranian-directed terrorist identity between us and Egypt, he concluded.Israel must ensure that Gaza, and all other relevant issues, are dealt with under any peace deal, Dichter said. We cannot go step by step, it has to be one whole process... A peace deal is like delivering a child. One does not birth a partial baby, and similarly, one cannot birth a partial peace.

Hate Letter Threatened Wave of NY Synagogue Attacks
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JAN 3,11

A hate letter threatened a wave of New York synagogue bombings on New Year’s Eve, including the Upper West Side house of worship, whose spiritual leader, Rabbi Alan Schwartz, told The New York Post, Someone wants to spread fear.His Ohab Zedek synagogue - a religious center for hundreds of New York professionals, many of them singles - received a letter Thursday afternoon, threatening to blow up the house of worship on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath Friday night, which also was the eve of the secular new year.Police evacuated the synagogue building and combed it for explosives, but found nothing suspicious.Rabbi Schwartz told the newspaper that the letter was also sent to 10 or 12 synagogues, although police have not confirmed if explicit bomb threats were made in every letter.The Post noted that the same day the letter was discovered, New York state officials released annual statistics showing that hate crimes rose by 14 percent, while hate crimes in New York City rose by 6 percent. Seventy incidents were recorded in Manhattan.(IsraelNationalNews.com

Female Reform Rabbis: Socialize With Arabs, But Don't Date
by Maayana Miskin JAN 2,11

Female Reform Jewish Rabba's [feminine for Rav, the term suggested for female Reform spiritual leaders in Israel, ed.] have written a letter criticizing a call from Orthodox rabbis' wives (rebbetzins) for Jewish women not to socialize with or date Arab men because of the possibility of this leading to marriage, which they see as a natural result of male-female friendships.. The Reform Rabba's only disagreed with the rebbetzins in part – while they believe Jewish women and Arab men should socialize, they remain opposed to their marrying one another..We... oppose interfaith marriages, but we consider professional and social contacts between us and all of Israel's citizens and residents to be positive – regardless of race, religion, or sex, the letter said. It was signed by 40 women serving as Reform spiritual leaders in Israel.The female Reform leaders seem to have seem themselves as parallel to the Orthodox rabbi's wives in writing an all-women's response. Male Reform rabbis said they also support the Reforms women's letter.

The rebbetzins' letter, sent last week, had called on young Jewish women to avoid professional or social contact with Arab men in order to avoid dating relationships. The women are likely to find that Arab men in the workplace will attempt to win their affection with gifts and compliments, only to mistreat them in any ensuing relationship and force them break off contact with their families, the letter said, citing many instances where this has occurred. They reminded young women that their grandparents or families came to live in the Jewish State in order to preserve Judaism.The rebbetzins cautioned that dating between Jewish women and Arab men often leads to situations in which Jewish women are left isolated and under the control of their Arab boyfriends or husbands, and are forced to abandon their Jewish identity.

The issue of interfaith marriage is anathema in Israel, where Jewish-Moslem intermarriage runs mainly one way – Muslim men attempt and succeed in marrying Jewish women, mostly from poorer segments of society, but Jewish men who attempt to date Muslim women face severe repercussions, including physical violence.Close to 100% of the children of mixed Jewish-Muslim marriages identify as Muslim as the women are not allowed contact with their former Jewish milieu. Many women who wish to be rescued from interfaith marriages that have turned out to be abusive have turned to Yad LeAchim, the organization that attempts to arrange their escapes from Arab villages. Many continue to suffer because they do not want to leave their children.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

7.1 magnitude quake off Chile coast: USGS
JAN 2,11

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A 7.1 magnitude earthquake was detected Sunday near the central coast of Chile, US authorities said, noting the risk of local -- but not Pacific-wide -- tsunamis.The US Geological Survey said the earthquake occurred at 2020 GMT, 69 kilometers (45 miles) northwest of Temuco, Chile, at a depth of 16 kilometers (10 miles).The latest USGS report revised an earlier report giving the magnitude of the quake as 7.2, and the depth at 33 kilometers (20.5 miles), and describing the location as offshore from the Bio-bio region, which was devastated last year by a massive earthquake.Based on all available data a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a bulletin.However, earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometers of the earthquake epicenter, it said.Chile lies on the Pacific rim of fire and is prone to violent earthquakes. In February last year it was hit by a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake, which triggered a huge tsunami sweeping away entire villages.The disaster left around 520 people dead, and caused an estimated 30 billion dollars in damage.

More than 1,000 dead birds fall from sky in Ark.
Sun Jan 2, 9:18 am ET

BEEBE, Ark. – Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused more than 1,000 blackbirds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds about 11:30 p.m. the previous night. The birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.

Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail.The commission said that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.
Robby King, a wildlife officer for the agency, collected about 65 dead birds, which will be sent for testing to the state Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.Rowe said that similar events have occurred elsewhere and that test results usually were inconclusive.She said she doubted the birds were poisoned.

1 week after blizzard, NYC garbage is piled high By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press - JAN 2,11

NEW YORK – One week after a blizzard paralyzed the city, the snowdrifts were melting Sunday but the mountains of trash were growing.The Department of Sanitation announced it would resume garbage pickups on Monday for the first time since the Christmas weekend storm dumped 20 inches of snow on city streets. Trash collection was suspended while crews struggled to plow streets, Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty said.We are able to resume garbage pickups now that significant progress has been made in clearing away the aftermath of last Sunday's massive blizzard, Doherty said Saturday.Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other city officials endured days of withering criticism for the city's slow response to the storm. Bloomberg visited some of the neighborhoods hardest hit by the snow and confessed the city's handling of it was inadequate and unacceptable.On one Manhattan block Sunday, sanitation trucks with front loaders were busy clearing snow, but garbage bins outside apartment buildings were filled to overflowing, and bags of recyclable beer bottles and milk cartons were stacked helter-skelter along with discarded Christmas trees and wreaths.Neighborhood resident Daniella Lekach said she could smell the trash but it didn't bother her.It's OK in the winter,she said.I figure it's cold enough that the rodents and insects aren't going to gather.But Merilu Granato, who owns a midtown Manhattan pizzeria, called the piles of garbage a very ugly scene.

We pay so much in taxes,Granato said. We didn't expect whoever's in charge to be so behind. ... I've been here 30 years and never seen anything like it.The sanitation department said New Yorkers whose garbage is normally collected on Monday should place all their trash bags and containers out at curbside Sunday night. It said it had already started collecting garbage from some housing developments.Recyclables won't be collected until further notice, but Christmas trees will be picked up.
Alternate-side-of-the-street parking rules, suspended since the Dec. 26 storm to facilitate snow removal, will be suspended again on Monday.

Short respite but worst of Australian floods not over

BUNDABERG, Australia (AFP) – Emergency services in northeastern Australia geared up Monday to battle huge flooding that has left at least one person dead, amid warnings the worst of the devastation is far from over.Up to 200,000 people are estimated to have been hit by the fast-flowing waters which have left entire rural towns under water and cut off many more over a vast area the size of France and Germany combined.

But in a rare glimmer of good news, the bureau of meteorology in Queensland early Monday cancelled a severe thunderstorm warning, saying the immediate threat had passed.However, state assistant police commissioner Alistair Dawson has warned the emergency could drag on for another month and cautioned that major difficulties still lay ahead.It's hard to make the call that the worst is behind us, Dawson said on Sunday.Parts of the state are still in response mode while others are in recovery... I think we're in the middle of the event, he said.The floods, which are wreaking untold billions of dollars in damage to crops and Australia's key mining industry, claimed their first victim Sunday when the body of a missing woman was recovered.There are fears for another man missing after his fishing boat was swamped Saturday afternoon near Gladstone, at the centre of the floods, and witnesses reported seeing a second man swept away in the coastal town of Rockhampton.

The 41-year-old woman victim was swept from her car as she tried to cross a swamped causeway in the Gulf of Carpentaria region.Police managed to save three children and another adult from the car but the woman disappeared before they could reach her.
These waters are exceptionally fast, they're not to be trifled with and they're not to be taken lightly, Dawson said.Queensland State Treasurer Andrew Fraser has described the situation as a disaster of biblical proportions.Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who on Friday toured inundated regions, said the mining sector had been particularly badly hit, adding that farmers, small businesses and tourism would also suffer.Residents in Rockhampton were forced to flee the rising waters in darkness Saturday night, while helicopters delivered food and other supplies to about 22 centres hit by the deluge.Rockhampton's airport, a major regional hub, was closed to commercial traffic because the runways were under water while the deluge also cut main roads and railways into the town and disrupted power supplies.

The town's river is expected to peak at 9.4 metres (31 feet) Wednesday, threatening 2,000-4,000 homes, and Mayor Brad Carter said desperate sandbagging was under way.
Rockhampton could be isolated for up to 10 days, and though food shortages were not yet an issue, Carter said he was unsure how long supplies could last as the situation worsens.The water inundation is far more extensive than we thought it was. It's very extensive, Carter said after an aerial tour on Sunday. The geographic area has an enormous amount of water to it either side of ...the Fitzroy river, which has broken through its banks and is covering large agricultural areas, said Carter.

Officials were warning of a critical drinking water shortage at the inland town of Dalby after its treatment plant was swamped, meaning supplies had to be trucked in.
In Bundaberg, in Queensland's southeast, the clean-up was set to begin in about 300 homes and 120 businesses as flood waters recede, but other towns such as Theodore and Condamine remained empty of residents.

7th person dies after New Year's Eve tornadoes
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH, Associated Press – Sat Jan 1, 11:54 pm ET

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Shaken residents spent New Year's Day sifting through the wreckage wrought by tornadoes that touched down in several states on the last day of 2010, killing seven people and injuring dozens of others.Six people — three in Missouri and three in Arkansas — died Friday as tornadoes fueled by unusually warm air pummeled the South and Midwest. A seventh person who was injured Friday in Missouri died Saturday, said Bruce Southard, the chief of the Rolla Rural Fire Department.The woman, identified by Phelps County Emergency Management as 74-year-old Ethel Price, was entertaining a friend, Alice Cox, 69, of Belle, Mo., in her trailer when the twister hit.Southard said nothing was left of the trailer except for the frame, and that the twister scattered debris 40 to 50 yards from where the trailer was sitting. The women were found under a pile of debris, and Cox died Friday, Southard said.It's like you set a bomb off in it, Southard said. It just annihilated it.At a farm not far away, 21-year-old Megan Ross and her 64-year-old grandmother Loretta Anderson died when a tornado hit where their family lived among three mobile homes and two frame houses, Dent County Emergency Management Coordinator Brad Nash said.In Mississippi, the National Weather Service confirmed Saturday evening that three tornadoes ripped through the central part of the state on New Year's Eve, causing heavy damage and injuring three people. Officials say it damaged structures, blew out billboards, uprooted trees and overturned a tanker trailer.The cost of the storm wasn't immediately known, but it was expected to be steep.In Missouri, state officials received initial reports from nine counties that as many as 280 homes and other structures sustained damage and that at least 50 of them were destroyed.

Especially hard hit was Fort Leonard Wood, where about 30 homes were destroyed and about 65 others were in need of repair, and the St. Louis area, where more than 100 structures were damaged or destroyed, said Mike O'Connell, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety.The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said 39 homes and 40 businesses were destroyed or seriously damaged by the large storm system. About 6 inches of rain fell in places, leading to flash flooding.And emergency management officials in Arkansas say 14 homes and one business in Washington County sustained damage, while in Benton County, 13 homes and five businesses sustained damage.Missouri's governor, Jay Nixon, began the new year meeting with emergency workers, cleanup crews and residents in the heavily damaged St. Louis County town of Sunset Hills before heading to Rolla.It is destruction unlike anything I've seen, said Nixon spokesman Sam Murphey, who was part of the tour. It's incredible.Both Nixon and Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe declared states of emergency that could make it easier to eventually obtain federal funding to help with the cleanup effort.In the northwestern Arkansas hamlet of Cincinnati, volunteers from as far away as Ohio came to help after a twister packing winds up to 140 mph claimed three lives. Gerald Wilson, 88, and his wife, Mamie, 78, died in their home and Dick Murray, 78, was killed as he was milking cows.Washington County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Richard Green said residents in the town of about 100 people were doing as good as can be expected. This outpouring out of the community is helping a bunch.A shelter was open at the local United Methodist Church, where people could get warm, get some food and a hot drink and warm up, said Arthur Ashby, an emergency services specialist for the American Red Cross chapter in nearby Tontitown. They are tired ... but every person I've seen has had a positive attitude and is excited to get things going again and rebuild and clean up,Ashby said.

In Missouri, the Red Cross has been giving out hotel vouchers to displaced residents, and Fort Leonard Wood officials were finding places for displaced residents to stay. Major Gen. David Quantock, the fort commander, said it was a godsend that the storm resulted in only four minor injuries there. He said efforts were focused on getting families that had been displaced back to some level of normalcy.Emergency teams in Mississippi were also working Saturday to survey the damage. Forecasters at the National Weather Service's building at the Jackson airport had been forced into a tornado shelter when winds hit 60 miles per hour. It was pretty intense, said Ed Agre, a senior forecaster. The Clarion-Ledger newspaper in Jackson reported that the storm forced the evacuation of about 200 people from the Jackson-Evers International Airport, where a possible tornado was reported crossing a runway.Power was knocked out to about 20,000 customers, but by Saturday night, only about 1,500 remained without power. In Missouri, about 8,000 customers were left in the dark on New Year's Eve, but less than 1,000 were still without power by the next day.Associated Press writers Murray Evans in Oklahoma City and Cain Burdeau in New Orleans contributed to this report.

Copts protesting bombing clash with Egypt police
By Sarah Mikhail and Sherine El Madany - JAN 2,11

CAIRO (Reuters) – Angry Coptic Christians clashed with police on Sunday as they demanded more protection for Egypt's Christians following a New Year's Day church bombing that killed 21 of their brethren.Hundreds of members of Egypt's large Christian minority protested in Cairo and Alexandria, the northern city where the presumed suicide bomber detonated a device outside a church during a midnight service.A security source said Egypt was holding seven people for questioning over Saturday's bombing, which also wounded 97 people, and had released 10 others.At Saint Mark's Cathedral, the Cairo base of Orthodox Pope Shenouda, several hundred young Copts fought police on Sunday as they tried to leave the cathedral grounds and take to the streets to demand more protection for Christians.Their protest continued into the night, the crowd held back by a cordon of riot police nine men deep. A church official approached the crowd briefly to try to calm them down, without success.Security - are you with us or with them? the men cried.You government are cowards.Pope Shenouda, have a care. We are youth. We will protect you with our blood, the men shouted, many of them holding aloft makeshift wooden crosses. Revolution, revolution in Egypt, in all churches of Egypt.

Earlier, protestors in Cairo had heckled government officials who visited the cathedral compound to offer condolences: Where are you, Interior Minister, when they are killing our brothers before your eyes? Some protesters pelted a minister's car with stones when he left, witnesses said. Some visiting Christian officials had cars shaken by angry demonstrators, while other protesters scuffled with police outside the compound.Extra police officers were posted outside several churches in Cairo and Alexandria on Sunday, preventing cars from parking next to the buildings, witnesses said.Pope Benedict, head of the Roman Catholic church, condemned the bombing as a vile gesture, the latest in a series of attacks on Christians in the Middle East and Africa.Egyptian officials said there were indications that foreign elements were behind the blast and that it seemed to have been the work of a suicide bomber.An Iraqi group linked to al Qaeda threatened in November to attack Egypt's Coptic Church. And about two weeks before the bombing, a statement on an Islamist website urged Muslims to attack churches in Egypt and elsewhere around Christmas, which for Orthodox denominations such as the Copts falls on January 7.A statement on another Islamist website after the blast read: This is the first drop of heavy rain, hand over our prisoners and turn to Islam. No group was named.Islamist groups have accused the Church of trying to coerce Christian women who wanted to convert to Islam.One protester, Nader Shenouda, said: When there was a threat from al Qaeda a month or a month and a half ago, did the government have to wait till the disaster happened before protecting us? Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, the head of al Azhar, Egypt's most prestigious seat of Sunni learning, visited the Muslim Orthodox Coptic Pope Shenouda to express condolences.

President Hosni Mubarak, 82, has pledged to track down the culprit. He made a televised address on Sunday calling for national unity, saying the attack was directed at all Egyptians, not just Christians. Christians make up about 10 percent of Egypt's 79 million people. Tensions often flare with the majority Muslims over issues such as building churches or close relationships between members of the two faiths. Analysts said the attack was on a much bigger scale than typical sectarian flare-ups but said laws that make it easier to build a mosque than a church, and similar causes of Christian complaint, meant such an attack would fuel sectarian tension.Angus Blair, head of research at investment bank Beltone Financial, said the blast was likely to be brushed off by investors in the bourse and was not likely to have a material negative impact on tourism, a major revenue source.(Additional reporting by Yasmine Saleh, writing by Edmund Blair; editing by Jon Boyle)
