ARISH, Egypt, 04 Ramadan 1431 H/August 14, 2010, SPA -- Six African migrants trying to cross into Israel were killed in clashes with Bedouin traffickers and Egyptian border guards in the Sinai Desert, AP cited security officials as saying Saturday. The traffickers had tied up around 300 of the illegal migrants, but several managed to escape and grab weapons from their captors, setting off Friday's fighting, the two officials said, quoting from witness statements. The smugglers were demanding more money to take the migrants, most of whom were from Eritrea, to Israel, they said.
