Gaza woman caught smuggling crocodiles
2007-03-26
At Rafah border crossing:
A Palestinian woman was caught trying to smuggle three crocodiles from Egypt into the Gaza Strip via Rafah Border Crossing. Maria Telleria, spokeswoman for EU BAM, which monitors the border as part of an agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, said that the smuggler tried to cross Thursday into Gaza with the three crocodiles taped to her upper body. A Palestinian guard noticed the woman was oddly obese and became suspicious. He notified the monitors, and the reptiles were discovered on further inspection. The crocodiles measured 40 to 50 centimetres in length. They were returned to Egypt, and the woman was questioned by Palestinian security officials. She related that she wanted to sell the reptiles to a local zoo.
Uhuh. Right. Why do I suspect "Mahmoud, throw the interlopers to the crocodiles!" was supposed to be in somebody's future?
