posted: An Egyptian security official said the group - said to be cement workers - were returned to their hotel in the provincial capital, el-Arish, early on Wednesday, AP reports.


The official, who did not want to be named, said the kidnappers had been promised that their relatives would be re-tried.


A Chinese embassy official in Cairo, Ma Jianchun, said he had met the workers and they were "were in good condition", Xinhua said.


The workers were seized on their way to a military-owned cement factory in the Lehfen area, south of al-Arish, on Tuesday.


The armed kidnappers had called for the release of five relatives jailed after the 2004 bomb attack at the Red Sea resort of Taba that killed 31 people.
