U.S. Citizen Detained in Egypt Commits Suicide 
-----------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, an U.S. citizen held in detention for six weeks has been found
dead in his jail cell in an apparent suicide. James Lunn was detained
during a security sweep in the Sinai Peninsula in late August. Egypt's
Interior Ministry claims Lunn was in the area of a car-bomb attack on a
police station and was found with a "computer and maps of important
facilities."
