Egypt Captures Palistinian Terror Cell INSIDE Egypt


Okay, this story is buried deep inside another story in JPost, so don't let the story headline below, fool you What I've done is excerpt below the section of the story that deals with this telling arrest of a terror cell in Egypt. That terror cell is made up of Palestinians who of course have the usual wardrobe of suicide bomb belts. Now, we all know that when you talk about "terrorist cells" from Palestine, it's either Hamas, Islamic Jihad or al Qaeda. My guess here is that it's a group linked to the new al Qaeda band in Gaza.
Nevertheless, Egypt is going to find out quickly that their first mistake was not constructing a border wall at Gaza that was concrete. And their second mistake was not shooting dead every palestinian that crossed the border the other day.

Here's the full story.

Israel may let more Egyptian troops at Rafah

Also Wednesday, Egyptian officials said security forces captured a cell of Palestinian terrorists that infiltrated Sinai from Gaza and was in possession of a number of explosive belts. Israeli defense officials confirmed the report and said that additional Gazan terrorists, with plans to infiltrate into Israel, were believed to be hiding in Sinai after crossing into there via the open border in recent days.
A report in the semi-official Egyptian daily Al-Ahram said several other Palestinians were caught in Egypt with blueprints of the border crossings between Israel and Egypt, including the location of security posts. The Egyptian authorities also confiscated sniper rifles and explosives that were found in the possession of the suspects.
The report also said that other Palestinians had tried to bribe Egyptian policemen to allow them to cross border checkpoints with explosives and weapons.
