"CAIRO - Gunmen in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula kidnapped two American women on Friday in an apparent attempt to hold them for ransom, security sources said.

Security in the isolated desert region has deteriorated since the overthrow of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising last February. South Sinai's Red Sea coast is a major tourism hub for Egypt...................."

This ain't gonna' help the Egyptian tourist industry any. Then again, the area has a long history of the odd tourist incident here and there.
