Egypt Has Destroyed 1,370 Gaza Smuggling Tunnels
[An Nahar] Egypt's military said Wednesday it has destroyed 1,370 smuggling tunnels under its border with the Gazoo Strip, as Cairo's ties remain sour with the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement that rules the Paleostinian enclave.
Just looking at the map, you wouldn't think the terrain on which Gaza sits could support that many tunnels...
Ties took a turn for the worse after the military's July ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
, who belongs to the Moslem Brüderbund, with which Hamas is affiliated.

The statement did not say when the tunnels were destroyed, but the military has poured troops into the adjacent Sinai Peninsula to counter militancy that has grown since July.

The tunnels, under the town of Rafah, are used to transfer food, fuel and consumer products into the densely populated Paleostinian enclave.

But Hamas and other krazed killer groups reportedly use their own more secret tunnels to bring in arms and money.

Gazoo has been under blockade since 2006, after gunnies captured an Israeli soldier in a cross-border raid.

Egypt accuses Hamas of having colluded with the Brotherhood in carrying out "terror attacks" on its territory in the past few years.

Dozens of alleged Hamas gunnies have been named among scores of defendants, including Morsi, in trials for organizing jailbreaks and attacking cop shoppes during the 2011 revolt that toppled strongman Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...

In a separate espionage trial, Morsi and 35 other defendants are accused of conspiring with foreign powers, including Sunni Mohammedan Hamas and Shiite Iran, to destabilize Egypt.

Hamas has denied Egyptian accusations that it is involved in fighting in the restive Sinai Peninsula.
