#1 What a stand-up thing for Egypt to do. Of course I doubt if the smuggles paid the tariffs so maybe the tax police got on them.

#4 If the missles are coming from Syria then the bill is being paid in Iran.

#5 It's likely, given Iran's rhetoric and involvement with Syria.

But frankly, there's a lot of players who could be responsible. Russia has assets in Syria; North Korea has supplied technical expertise and could be a source for the missiles.

The weapons could have been shipped through Sudan as well (The IAF wiped out an arms convoy transiting Sudan bound for Gaza not that long ago).

Too many players, too many routes.
