UPDATE at 2/9/07 11:29:05 am:

Our friends the Saudis are exceptionally eager to promote this event. So eager that they’ve actually allowed photographs to be taken inside the Kaaba, showing the (ahem) oddly-shaped metallic shrine that houses the meteorite they worship.

This is highly unusual behavior for the religious apartheid kingdom.

Arms flow to Gaza

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Egypt is doing too little to stop arms smuggling into Gaza, which emboldens the militant group Hamas and weakens rival Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter said on Thursday.

“Tens of tons” of explosives were being smuggled into Gaza via Egypt, including anti-aircraft missiles, Dichter told reporters while visiting Washington for meetings with U.S. officials.
