ISMAILIA: Two Spanish tourists were missing in the Red Sea yesterday after their dive boat sank in rough water off Egypt's Sinai coast, a popular beach holiday and diving destination, a medical official said.

Fourteen other Spanish tourists and seven Egyptian crew were rescued after the boat capsized and sank near Ras Mohamed. A naval boat was looking for the missing tourists, but had not spotted them more than five hours after the accident, the official said. - Reuters
