Foreign tourists prepare for camping near Dakhla oasis in Egypt's Western Desert, some 900 km southwest from Cairo, September 24, 2008. Kidnappers who snatched European tourists in Egypt's desert last week exploited a weak spot in Cairo's security network, but the kidnapping is unlikely to herald a return to Islamist militant attacks on tourists. Egypt's state news agency MENA reported that the tourists had spent the night of Sept. 16 in a hotel in the Dakhla oasis before heading out toward the Gilf al-Kebir national reserve.
