| [Jpost] Morsi wary of fighting terror while trying to defuse opposition; Brothers don't understand what is needed is not military buildup. There was a happy ending for the six coppers and the soldier kidnapped last week in the Sinai Peninsula. They were released unhurt after marathon negotiations that lasted until dawn Wednesday between a representative of military intelligence, a Salafi sheikh and a representative of the Swarka tribe, one of the largest in the peninsula.
