Egypt seizes vehicles carrying arms from Sudan to Gaza

Security officials say Egyptian armed forces have seized five vehicles carrying weapons into the country from Sudan, apparently headed for Gaza.

 

The officials say the vehicles were intercepted inside Egypt Sunday near the border with Sudan, following a shootout during which the truck drivers fled. They said the trucks were carrying large quantities of mortars, rocket propelled grenades, rifles and explosives. They said they were headed to Hamas-ruled Gaza through smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. (AP)
