Police arrested a Bedouin woman Friday who had almost a half ton of explosives buried under her house in the eastern Sinai Peninsula, a security official said.
The munitions seized in al-Takadom village included some 770 pounds of explosives and eight rockets, said the official. Police found the explosives a day after they discovered two tunnels on the other side of the Sinai Peninsula in Rafah, just a few meters from Egypt's border with the Gaza Strip, the official said.
