The Egyptian Border Guard forces Tuesday managed to seize a huge amount of weapons and explosive devices during an attempt to smuggle them into Egypt through a tunnel linking the Gaza Strip with the Egyptian city of Rafah, security sources said. The sources added that the smuggling tunnel was away 1.5 km from the Gaza border, indicating that the weapons were believed to be sent to the Sinai-based Islamist militants. The border guards in cooperation with the Armed Forces engineering corps are continuing blows to smuggling activities. According to sources, six tunnels used in smuggling individuals and commodities were discovered and were destroyed.
