Egypt's Bedouin Smugglers Ply Arms Trade to Gaza
(Reuters) Marwa Awad - "The latest deal just arrived from Sudan, come and see," said Aref, a Bedouin smuggler in Egypt's Sinai desert. "These are 80 Kalashnikovs....We will bury this shipment in the desert until we find a buyer." Arms smuggling by Bedouin tribal networks, mainly by land along Egypt's southern border with Sudan, across the Sinai peninsula and into Hamas-run Gaza, is on the uptick, according to an Egyptian official.
