Another huge cache of explosives discovered on its way to the Palestinians: Ton of explosives found on Gaza border.
Egyptian police discovered a ton of explosives hidden in an underground cache on the border with the Gaza Strip during a search for smuggling tunnels, a security official said Thursday.
The cache was discovered behind a school in the sparsely populated Ahrash region near the border town of Rafah, the official added on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.
The discovery comes just two days after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced that Egypt was doing everything it could to search for tunnels used to smuggle weapons and contraband to terrorists in the Gaza Strip, following Israeli and US criticism.
“In the past eight months we have found 186 tons of explosives,” said Mubarak on Tuesday in a joint press conference with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
