Sharm: Bedouin Shoot-Out

The police were exchanging fire with Bedouin gun-men some 30 km from Sharm El-Sheik where the two Pakistani bomb-suspects are believed to be hiding in a village surrounded by security forces.

In Sharm, the police have been handing out wanted-pictures of six Pakistani men that left their passports in the hotel before the attacks and have been missing since the fatal explosions. Another set of pictures, with some 130 images has also circulated, showing suspected Egyptians and some international terrorists.

The security chief in Sharm El Sheik has left his position. Israel has complained that Egypt’s security has not improved since the attacks in Sinai last October.

Meanwhile in the US, George and Barbara Bush have been to the Egyptian Embassy to sign a book of condolences.
