Egyptian security forces clashed with Islamic militants in the mountains of Sinai on Tuesday, killing a suspect in last October's bombings at Sinai resorts which killed 34 people and destroyed a wing of the Taba Hilton Hotel. The suspect, Mohammed Abdel Rahman Badawi, and a policeman were killed in the shootout near Ras el-Sudr, a Red Sea town 25 miles south of Suez.
