'Egypt intercepts Libyan surface-to-air missiles in Sinai'

'Egypt intercepts Libyan surface-to-air missiles in Sinai'

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=241731

".........Egypt security officers said they intercepted surface-to-air missiles smuggled from Libya through the Sinai peninsula, the Washington Post reported, a day after Egypt reportedly flew fighter jets over certain areas of Sinai without requisite permission from Israel.

According to the Washington Post report, an Egyptian source said that Palestinians in Gaza had likely struck a deal over the weapons with contacts in Libya........."

When you drop the ball it tends to wander all over the court before coming to a halt. Wonder were they will all "stop".

Isn't the war in Libya still going on and don't we continue to lead from the rear?

I know one table where the buck will never stop.

Anybody out there read 'Against All Enemies' by Tom Clancy? I can think of a number of scenarios in which not getting all these MANPADS under control mo-riki could be BAD.

I thought there were some 20,000+ surface-to-air-missiles missing fron the Libyan stock plies that were ransacked recently.. That I think is a much bigger problem trying to find them.......

After reading the headline my first guess for a destination was Palestine, with the entire deal financed by a neighboring country that doesn't like Israel.
