Two Egyptian Policemen Killed in Search for Sinai Militants
(AP/Boston Globe) Mariam Fam - Two senior Egyptian police officers were killed Thursday at Halal mountain, 37 miles south of El Arish, by land mines possibly rigged to explode during a search for terror suspects linked to recent tourist resort bombings, security officials said. 4,000 Egyptian security personnel began a sweep Sunday of the northern Sinai for suspects linked to July's Sharm el-Sheik attacks and two October resort bombings. At least 650 people have been detained since Sunday.
