Two American tourists have been kidnapped in the southern part of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, a security official said Friday.
They were abducted by unknown Bedouins, said Gen. Mohamed Naguib, head of security in the region.
The kidnappers "want certain detainees released and retried," said Gen. Marwan Mustapha, spokesman for the Egyptian Interior Ministry.
"Our authorities are dealing with the situation," he said.

american tourists? in egypt right now?
sounds like a bad decision..
I was there in 1992. I got the impression then that most of the locals didn't want us there (white people). I wouldn't go right now.
heard they already let them go..
so it was just a night with the bedouins. that might have been cool.. i wonder if they were tied up..
Yeah? Well it sure worked for Palestine did'nt it?! What makes Americans think they are "safe" there? I mean if you'll slaughter your own people. What chance does the errant westerner stand when they openly avow their outright disdain and hatred of us and what we stand for? HELLO?
oh, i'm not going. lol
just think they might have got a great story for 'what i did this winter'.
they got lucky
