| Egypt seizes explosives 'destined for Gaza' |
| 2008-11-08 |
| Egypt seized a ton of TNT in the Sinai Peninsula that officials believe was probably destined for the Gaza Strip, a security source said on Friday. Leftover Eid gifts I'm sure... Boxes of the powerful explosive were found in an underground hideout after police were tipped off by local residents, the official said. The TNT "was probably destined for Gaza," he said, adding that no arrests have yet been made in the case. Israel and the United States often accuse Egypt of not doing more to halt the flow of illegal weapons into the Islamist Hamas-run Gaza Strip. Cairo disputes this, saying security forces often uncover tunnels under the border with Gaza that are used by smugglers of weapons and contraband. |

| #1 Could have been destined for Hermanus, but that would have required a bit more digging. Nation, and point of origin? Manufacturer? |
