SUEZ, Egypt – Egyptian police forces in the Ismailia governorate today confiscated a large cache of weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles and rocket launchers, at the Suez Canal. The weapons were to be smuggled into the Sinai Peninsula. The police were informed that a large quantity of missiles was hidden behind the Abu Khalifa Hospital in Qantara, a town on the Ismailia-Port Said Road. There were rocket-propelled grenade launchers in the cache as well, but residents stole them before they could be confiscated. The police are investigating the theft.
