Bedouins surround peacekeepers, some US, in Sinai
None
Uruguayan officials say some of their peacekeeping troops have been surrounded by armed Bedouins in the Sinai desert. And they say US and Colombian troops may also be trapped.
The standoff apparently began this week and is still continuing as hundreds of Bedouins armed with automatic rifles surround the peacekeeping force. The force's camp is in Egyptian territory near the border with the Gaza Strip. The Bedouins are apparently demanding the release of five Egyptian prisoners held on terror charges. (AP)
