Smoke rises from burning palm fronds during a protest in the town of El-Arish October 7, 2007. Police used tear gas against hundreds of Bedouin in an Egyptian border town on Sunday after protesters pelted them with rocks, wounding three officers, police and witnesses said. The clashes started after members of a Sinai tribe called El-Fawakhria took to the streets in the northern Sinai town of El-Arish, protesting that police had not protected them against hostile tribesmen.
