<div id="ygrps-yiv-904646751">A question to all of you:<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;ve tried to figure out the political status of<br/>
Tiran Island in the Straits of Tiran. Some Internet<br/>
sources say it&#39;s Egyptian, some Saudi Arabian.<br/>
I couldn&#39;t find any indication that the island would<br/>
be disputed by the two countries (The CIA Handbook).<br/>
So which is it?<br/>
<br/>
Any ideas where to look next?<br/>
