Unknown saboteurs attacked an Egyptian pipeline supplying gas to Israel near the Gaza Strip on Saturday, an official told AFP, amid raging protests against the regime of President Hosni Mubarak.
The official initially said the terminal had also been attacked.
The attackers used explosives against the pipeline in the town of Lihfen in the Sheikh Zuwayed area of the Sinai peninsula near the Gaza Strip, the official said.
The army has taken precautionary measures to stop the fire from spreading, the official added.
Rescue services were putting out the fire, local official Gaber al-Araby told Egyptian television.
'We still don't have details of how it happened,' he added.
