Egypt says the 11 European tourists and eight Egyptians kidnapped while on a Sahara desert safari trip remain held in Sudan and that Germany is negotiating with the kidnappers on their release. Egypt's MENA news agency reported that the kidnappers are demanding a ransom of up to 6 million euros.
The five Germans, five Italians and one Romanian were seized Friday along with their Egyptian guides and drivers while camping in Egypt's western desert near the Sudanese border.
