Report: US troops uncovered dozens of tunnels under Gaza
Great Satan undermining Gaza Tunnel Authority. Film at eleven...Jerusalem - Ma'an - US soldiers are aiding Egyptian officials in the search for illegal smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, according to a report published by a major Israeli newspaper on Thursday. Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot said Thursday that American soldiers--operating under the guise of civilian contractors--discovered 42 tunnels under Rafah over the past month. US forces found the tunnels with advanced American technology and help from other engineering experts, the paper reported. The tunnels were supposedly used for smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip. Yeah, "supposedly"... Sources also said that US troops were deployed around Gaza after American officials struck an agreement with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak at a Cairo meeting over six months ago. It was not immediately clear if American soldiers had actually entered the Gaza Strip or were working solely from the Egyptian side. Hey, Bob. We got R&R this weekend. How about running up to Gaza? Sure. Sounds great. The report also mentioned that the US troops' involvement in the region had been a major source of recent tensions between Egypt and Hamas. Posted by: tu3031 2008-10-02 |
