Egyptian security detonates Rafah tunnel
2010-02-14
[Ma'an] Egyptian authorities detonated and collapsed a tunnel in the Yabna area of Rafah on Saturday afternoon.

Witnesses told Ma'an that an explosion was heard on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing. Medical sources added that no injuries were reported following the tunnel's detonation.

Last Saturday Egyptian authorities thwarted an attempt smuggle large amounts of ceramics into the Gaza Strip under Rafah, security sources said.
Ceramics?
The smugglers fled the scene before security forces arrived, they said, adding that "the goods were seized and the tunnel was placed under security restrictions before detonating it."

Probably not toilet bowls.

Shrapnel that doesn't show up using a metal detector.
