Egypt frees 10 more Bedouin detainees in Sinai

Egypt's interior minister will free a further 10 Bedouin detainees, state media and security sources said on Saturday, part of government efforts to assuage long-running tensions in the Sinai Peninsula.

Cairo has released some 200 Bedouins since Interior Minister Habib el-Adly met with tribal leaders in July to explore ways of bringing calm to the area, the sources said. (Reuters)
