MFO Restricted In Egypt's Sinai

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S.-led monitoring force in Egypt's Sinai
Peninsula has been increasingly hampered by an Al Qaida-aligned insurgency
threat, a report said.
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy asserted that the
Multinational Force and Observers were coming under constant attack by
Bedouin militias linked to Al Qaida and the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip.
In a report, the institute said MFO has restricted patrols amid the threat
of abduction and other attacks.
