EL-ARISH, Egypt  Armed Bedouin tribesmen briefly abducted a Hungarian member 
of the multinational observer force in Sinai, releasing him around two hours 
later after tribal elders intervened, a security official said Thursday.An 
official with the force confirmed the kidnapping of the Hungarian who was 
traveling Thursday in a bus from el-Arish in north Sinai to Cairo, 
a regular trip members of the force make to the capital.The two 
officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized 
to speak to the media.The security official said the elders secured the 
release of the force member by mediating between the tribesman and the 
government. The kidnappers were demanding the release of a member of their 
tribe arrested earlier on drug-related charges. The official said authorities 
promised they would review the case of the arrested tribesman, but that 
they have not released him.It is rare that members of the 12-nation 
force stationed in the Sinai are abducted by local tribesmen, although they 
have attacked the force's buses and headquarters. The largest contingent 
in the Sinai force is American.Bedouin tribesmen often briefly hold tourists 
to pressure the government in negotiations over the release of imprisoned 
relatives.The clans in Sinai have long complained of discrimination by the 
state, and mass arrests in the area after bombings in 2004 and 
2005 only further poisoned relations between residents and authorities.

WASHINGTON  A bipartisan group of senators finalizing a landmark immigration 
bill has agreed to require greatly increased surveillance of the border 
and apprehensions of people trying to cross it, a person familiar with 
the proposals said Wednesday.The legislation, to be released within days, 
would call for surveillance of 100 percent of the U.S. border with 
Mexico and apprehension of 90 percent of people trying to cross in 
certain high-risk areas. People living here illegally could begin to get 
green cards in 10 years but only if a new southern border 
security plan is in place, employers have adopted mandatory electronic verification 
of their workers' legal status and a new electronic exit system is 
operating at airports and seaports.The person provided the information on 
condition of anonymity because the deliberations were private.The contours 
of the tough new border security plans emerged as senators moved closer 
to unveiling sweeping legislation that would put some 11 million immigrants 
living here illegally on a path to citizenship and allow tens of 
thousands of high- and low-skilled workers into the country on new visa 
programs, in addition to securing the border.Lawmakers and aides said all 
the major elements were complete, or close to. A final deal was 
near on a new visa for agriculture workers. There were small details 
to be dealt with on visas for high-tech workers, but Sen. Dick 
Durbin, D-Ill., said it wasn't enough to hold
