Associated Press
A security official says four Americans have been detained in the Egyptian port city of Suez.
The official said residents in Suez stopped the four, among them an American-Egyptian national, Monday evening while they were shooting video near the Suez Canal.
The four were then turned over to military police and taken to Cairo for questioning.
The official says the four claimed to be journalists but had no credentials. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo said it was aware of the situation but did not provide further details.
