Bedouin tribesmen have kidnapped 25 Chinese workers in the north of Egypt's Sinai peninsula, officials say.
The technicians and engineers were on their way to work at a military-owned cement factory in the Lehfen area when gunmen stopped the bus and seized them.
This might work out differently than the kidnappers expect.

I'm sure the Chinese government has already called DC and told us to go get them.
And that we agreed. They own us after all.

You mean, something like 12 terrorists take 100 hostages in Russia and their spec ops
guys come heavily armed and carrying 112 bodybags, just in case?
Edit: there was only 1 russian plane hijack in Middle East in 70s, and after
Russians came and killed all passengers, kidnappers, villagers, cats, dogs,
camels and sheeps, without even trying to negotiate, noone tried again

That place is going to lose millions of tourism dollars when it goes Islamic fundamentalist. The US needs to stop giving that country anymore money. Same with Israel. Cut off Israel's free money

Good news for the workers, they have been freed.

posted:
An Egyptian security official said the group - said to be cement workers - were returned to their hotel in the provincial capital, el-Arish, early on Wednesday, AP reports.
The official, who did not want to be named, said the kidnappers had been promised that their relatives would be re-tried.
A Chinese embassy official in Cairo, Ma Jianchun, said he had met the workers and they were "were in good condition", Xinhua said.
The workers were seized on their way to a military-owned cement factory in the Lehfen area, south of al-Arish, on Tuesday.
The armed kidnappers had called for the release of five relatives jailed after the 2004 bomb attack at the Red Sea resort of Taba that killed 31 people.
