Sudan said it knows the location of 11 European tourists and their kidnappers, in Sudan about 15 miles from the Egyptian border, but has no immediate plans for a rescue.
A Sudanese Foreign Ministry spokesman said in Khartoum that negotiations were underway for the release of the tourists and their eight Egyptian guides, who were kidnapped while on a Sahara desert safari in a remote corner of Egypt. Germany is conducting the negotiations, Egyptian officials said.
