Israeli man and Norwegian woman kidnapped in Sinai
Sinai Bedouin kidnapped an Israeli man and his Norwegian female companion Friday while they were traveling between beach resorts. The Egyptian police reported they were transferred to the kidnappers’ vehicle at gunpoint. Later, the abductors offered to let their captives go in return for the release of their kinsmen from jail in Cairo. The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem has confirmed that the abducted Israeli comes from Nazareth.
