Al Masry Al Youm\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1223454\">Abdel Nasser Salama<\/a> says the attacks suggest a need for a significant change in the country\u2019s anti-terrorism strategy. The sheer magnitude of the attack transgressed the usual boundaries that would allow it to be classified as a \u201ccriminal act,\u201d and requires a much stronger response than the usual string of condemnations, mourning and vows. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1223303\">Hussein El Badry<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1223458\">Mai Azzam<\/a> take to the pages of the same newspaper to say that the attack suspiciously coincides with the ongoing process of the Palestinian reconciliation.
