Cairo Court: Egypt-Gaza Tunnels Must Be Destroyed
(Reuters) A Cairo court ruled on Tuesday the government must destroy all tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, removing a route for smuggled weapons for Palestinians. Many Egyptians fear that Gaza is a security risk for Egypt. President Mohamed Mursi's national security adviser Essam Haddad has said Egypt will not tolerate the two-way flow of smuggled arms through the tunnels that is destabilizing its Sinai peninsula. "The court ruled to make it obligatory that the government destroys the tunnels between Egypt and Gaza," Judge Farid Tanaghou said.
