US reconnaisance assets have picked up a marked increase in Egyptian military activity, including armed forays into <u>Sudanese</u> airspace. The Saudi-Arabians have also been threatened and <u>Egyptian aircraft</u> are close to violating Saudi airspace. US forces in the area are now on full alert.
