Tourists kidnapped in Egypt
A group of eleven Europeans has been kidnapped in southern Egypt and taken to Sudan. According to CNN, the eleven are five Italians, five Germans and a Romanian and the kidnapping took place on September 16. Four Egyptians were also kidnapped. Let's go to the videotape.Earlier on Monday, the Israeli foreign ministry and the Egyptian government denied a report that two Israelis were among those kidnapped. Israel's counter-terrorism bureau has warned Israelis not to visit Egypt out of fear that they might be kidnapped by terror organizations. But curiously, I could not access the video above through YouTube (even though I'm in Boston now, my computer carries an Israeli IP address and I am often shut out of videos that are 'not available to your country'). I got the video directly from CNN.
Hmmm.

Had no idea of such internet restrictions on Israelis, but for those who prefer a YouTube link, YouTube: 11 tourists kidnapped in Egypt, 9/22.
There are ways to mask (hide) your IP address. Anyway, Israel is always discriminated against.
