Egypt police find huge weapons cache in Sinai
2008-09-02
CAIRO - Egyptian police on Monday found a large cache of weapons in the Sinai desert during a routine patrol of the area, a security official said. Police found "171 mortar shells, anti-tank and anti-personnel grenades, 29 shells, 212 anti-tank projectiles as well as a number of detonators," the official told AFP.

Weapons and explosives found in Sinai are generally believed to be destined for the neighbouring Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
Really? Sure they're not going to Mauritania?
Last week, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak hailed Egyptian efforts to stem the flow of weapons into Gaza, saying they had been "visibly effective" but that more effort was still needed.
