Egyptian investigators have identified one of the suicide bomber responsible for last weekend's attacks that killed as many as 88 people in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheik.

The bomber, identified as Youssef Badran, an Egyptian Sinai resident with ties to Islamic militants, carried out the devastating truck bomb attack on the Ghazala Garden's hotel in Sharm el-Sheik.

Police held members of Badran's family for questioning and were trying to determine his associates, officials said.

Across Sinai, security forces took in 70 people for questioning today, bringing to 140 the number held since the weekend attacks.
