Egypt denies Israel attacks came from Sinai
2011-08-19
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] South Sinai Governor Khaled Fouda denied that gunnies who killed seven people in attacks on buses in neighbouring Israel on Thursday had fired from Egypt.

At the same time, Egyptian security sources ruled out Israeli claims that Paleostinian attackers infiltrated from their territory.

Seven people were killed and 25 maimed when gunnies raked a bus and blasted two other vehicles in southern Israel near the border with Egypt.

Shortly afterwards, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak blamed the Islamist Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-controlled Gazoo for the attack and criticised Egypt for losing control over security in Sinai and along the border with Israel.

Fouda told news hounds that "there was no gunfire from the Egyptian side."

, ruled out that Paleostinian gunnies from Gazoo to the north slipped past their patrols into Israel.

Israeli security sources said initially that the gunfire appeared to come from the Egyptian side of the border, which runs parallel to Route 12 for several dozen kilometres (miles).

But military spokeswoman Avital Leibovitch told AFP that "everything took place in Israeli territory."

#4  Yup. I once had a young Egyptian air force officer lecture me for an hour with the Arab version of the founding of Israel, blaming the Brits, the Yanks, etc. The only ones he left out were the Martians, and I think he would've thrown those in if there'd been more time.

#3  No. That I mean is. You can take an Arab, connect him to polygraph, and ask him about a death of his cousin---who died a suicide boomer. And he will tell that his cousin was an innocent victim---brutally killed by Zionists for no reason. And the polygraph will show that he is not lying.

#2  Mmmm, don't you mean "I wonder IF the Arabs have a mind"?

More reasonable.
