CAIRO — Masked Bedouin gunmen in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula kidnapped two tourists, an Israeli man and a Norwegian woman, while they were traveling between Taba, near the Israeli border, and Dahab, a sea resort further south, late Thursday night [March 21], an Egyptian security official said.
"The driver was freed and rushed to Dahab police station and reported the kidnapping," said Gen. Ahmed Fawzy of the South Sinai police directorate.
