Egyptian border policeman read an Egyptian newspaper reporting on the abduction of their colleagues last Thursday, at the closed Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza strip, in Rafah, Egypt, Monday, May 20, 2013. Security officials said 17 military and more than 20 police armored vehicles were deployed in northern Sinai Monday as a response to the kidnapping by suspected militants of six policemen and a border guard there last Thursday. It was not clear if they deployed to rescue the hostages, to make a show of force to intimidate their captors, or for another reason.
