Egypt: Police discovers 20 underground tunnels near border with Gaza Thu. August 07, 2008 06:22 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Police have discovered 20 underground tunnels and seized thousands of gallons of fuel being smuggled under the Egypt-Gaza border, senior Egyptian security official says. The Egyptian security official says four smugglers were arrested early on Thursday after a heavy exchange of gunfire with Egyptian forces. Three of the suspects and one policeman were injured. The suspects were laying an 800-metre underground pipeline to ship fuel illegally into Gaza, the official says. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to media. He says the tunnels were uncovered over the past week. Fuel and supplies are often scarce in Gaza, whose borders are frequently shut because of security concerns.-AP News Category: Africa Latest Headlines Latest News Iraqi: Law maker killed in bomb attack ...
