| 2009-11-25 |
| [Ma'an] Egyptian security forces seized a car loaded with weapons in the city of Rafah which borders the Gaza Strip. An Egyptian security source said that the weapons, including 20 large plastic bags of explosives, guns and ammunition, in the car were to be smuggled into Gaza via an underground tunnel. After police found the car, the driver and another passenger managed to escape arrest, the source added. The weapons were sequestered to what the source described as "a safe location." "Egypt is eager to prevent any smuggling of weapons to the Gaza Strip in order to protect Egyptian national security," the security official said. |
