Egypt Closes Border with Gaza
[AP/Washington Post] Ibrahim Barzak - Egyptian troops closed the last breach in Egypt's border with Gaza on Sunday, ending 11 days of free movement for Gazans into Egypt. The troops were allowing Gazans and Egyptians to cross the border to return to their homes, but prevented any new cross-border movement. On Saturday, Egyptian security forces arrested two Palestinians in Sinai carrying a bomb. A police official in Cairo said the two had been trying to reach beach resorts in southern Sinai. At least 17 Palestinians have been arrested in the past days carrying weapons and explosives in Sinai.
