Egyptians in dispute with Gaza Tunnel Authority
Appears this wasn't the usual "collapse"...Five Palestinians were killed and 18 wounded in a smuggling tunnel under the Gaza-Egypt border after Egyptian troops blew up the entrance, an Egyptian security official and Gaza hospital doctors said Saturday. "The destruction of the entrance deprived those inside the tunnel of oxygen," said the Egyptian official, who is stationed at the border and spoke on customary condition of anonymity. Gaza hospital officials said the five died from lack of oxygen. Our "Egyptian official" doesn't seem all that upset about the fate of his "Arab brothers"... The tunnel entrance was destroyed late Friday, near the Gaza border town of Rafah. Anybody in there? Posted by: tu3031 2008-08-04 |
