Egypt-Gaza Border


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080203/ap_on_re_mi_ea/palestinians_egypt_border


Some highlights:


“On Saturday, Egyptian security forces arrested two Palestinians carrying a bomb in el-Massoura, a village about 2.5 miles west of the border with Gaza, a Sinai security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.”


“On Friday, a Sinai intelligence official said Egyptian security forces were looking for four Palestinians who slipped into the country from Gaza and were suspected of planning suicide attacks against resorts.”


“At least 17 Palestinians have been arrested in the past days carrying weapons and explosives near the border and other remote parts of the Sinai desert.”


“Earlier this week, Egypt and Abbas endorsed restoring a 2005 border arrangement in which European monitors were deployed on the Palestinian side to prevent smuggling of weapons and militants…”


What a joke. If these “monitors” observe smuggling of weapons and militants, what are they prepared to do, write a letter of condemnation to the UN Committee of Serious Concern?

Our new band must be called "Gaza Striptease".

Mad crazy success would be inevitable.
