#1 Egypt has been cited as a leading source of weapons and explosives to the Palestinian insurgency in the Gaza Strip. Western diplomatic sources said a large amount of Cobra rocket-propelled grenade launchers was stolen from Egyptâs state-owned defense industry and smuggled to the Gaza Strip.

#2 What makes this delivery "theft" so different?

It wasn't delivered directly from Army stocks. The IDF has followed Gaza tunnels that go under the border and come up in the middle of Egyptian Army bases.

After all where was Mr. Atta from? The Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt was the original Islamist terror group -- its been actively working toward the Caliphate since the 1950's, I believe, and counts its biggest success as the assassination of Anwar Saddat.
