Egypt Seizes Arms Shipment from Libya to Gaza
(McClatchy) Mel Frykberg - Egyptian security forces arrested three people Tuesday after intercepting a large shipment of weapons smuggled into the Sinai Peninsula from Libya. Egyptian media reports said the weapons included 185 crates filled with 5,000 rounds of bullets, anti-tank and anti-aircraft munitions, rocket-propelled grenades, landmines and explosives valued at $3.3 million. Last week, a convoy of pickup trucks was stopped near the Egyptian town of Marsa Matrouh, not far from the Libyan border, carrying 108 Grad rocket warheads.
