(Reuters) Egyptian army spokesman Ahmed Ali on Sunday accused groups in Hamas-run Gaza of mounting joint attacks with Sinai militants. He said the army seized weapons including anti-aircraft missiles and motorized paragliders. "There is cooperation between the armed terror groups with their counterparts in the Gaza Strip, and more than one joint operation has been monitored," Ali said. The military on Friday found two bombs beneath a security observation tower with detonation fuses that ran through a tunnel into Gaza. "The detonation was going to happen from Gaza," he said. He also screened a video in which 8 of 18 men detained in the security sweep identified themselves as Palestinian.
