CAIRO, May 22 (Reuters) – Seven members of Egypt’s security

forces who were kidnapped in Sinai last week have been released

and are on their way to Cairo, army spokesman Ahmed Ali said on

his Facebook page on Wednesday.

“The seven kidnapped Egyptian soldiers are on their way to

Cairo after their release thanks to the efforts of the Egyptian

military intelligence in coordination with the elders of the

tribes and families of Sinai,” he said.
