4 Paleostinians wounded as Egypt detonates tunnel
2010-04-01
Four Palestinians have been wounded as Egyptian security forces detonate a tunnel on the border between Gaza and Egypt, Palestinian medical sources report.
BOOM...Anybody in there?
OWWWWWWWW...
Sorry.

The Quds Press reported late Wednesday that the four victims, who were in the tunnel at the time of detonation, were moved to a local hospital in Rafah.

The explosion also caused damage to a number of homes in Al-Brazil neighborhood, in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Use enough dynamite there, Anwar?
They damaged homes in Brazil???
Furthermore, Egyptian security sources said that the security forces managed to uncover ten tunnels along the border with Rafah the same day.

The forces detonated some of the tunnels on Wednesday afternoon, and intend to detonate the rest soon.

In another incident, Egyptian police have seized 41 cars near its border with Gaza that were to be taken into the Palestinian territory through tunnels, a security official, who demanded anonymity, said on Wednesday.
That's one big tunnel ...
The discovery was made during a police patrol on Tuesday, the official said.

#4  They moved the London Bridge to Arizona, why not the Lincoln Tunnel to Gaza?

#3  I think the cars go through in pieces, and are then re-assembled.
