#1 CAIRO (AFP)--Bedouin tribesmen released 25 Egyptian policemen whom they kidnapped Tuesday in the northern Sinai in protest at the killing of one of their number, a security official said. "The Bedouin freed them in a mountainous area near the Israeli border," the official said.

The release came several hours after the police were seized by armed Bedouin in protest at the killing of an alleged drug smuggler in a police shootout.
