Michel Louis, an American woman, and their Egyptian guide were taken off a bus on a road between Cairo and Mount Sinai while on a church trip Friday. CBS Station WBZ has identified the American woman as Lissa Alphonse of Everett, Mass. The hostage-taker, Jirmy Abu-Masuh, has said he will not free the two Boston natives until his uncle is released from jail. He said his uncle was jailed for refusing to pay the police a bribe.

But many residents of the east London public housing project were dismayed to find themselves suddenly on the counterterrorism front line. “It’s kind of scary now, to be honest,” said Iqbal Hossain, who lives in the building with his wife and three children aged 2 to 14. “If it’s about safety for the Olympics, what about safety for us? If there is a terrorist attack, the first thing they are going to attack is the missiles.” London residents: No Olympic missiles on our roofU.K. military shows off missiles to protect OlympicsLondon 2012: Complete Summer Olympics coverage More in London 2012: Summer Olympics A High Court judge rejected that argument Tuesday, quashing a challenge by locals.
