convoy of weapons and explosives in the divided city of Rafah along the
border with the Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. They said the cache contained more than 150

The sources said the weapons and explosives had been transported by 16
vehicles to the huge tunnel network that spanned the Egyptian-Gaza border.
They said the cache found on Oct. 18 contained machine guns, grenades,
mines, body armor and other equipment.
No arrests were reported. The sources said the shipment was to have been
smuggled through three tunnels from Sinai to Gaza. One of the tunnels was
large enough for the transport of the vehicles.
The sources said Egypt has made significant gains against weapons
smuggling to the Gaza Strip. In 2010, they said, Egypt discovered 582
tunnels, 16 of them large enough for the smuggling of cars and trucks.

Wel done Mubarak. You are holding your brother's hand for others to kill so that you can get a pat on the back from US and Isreal. Your end shall soon come to pass.
