Egypt Allows Palestinians to Cross Border
(AP/Los Angeles Times) Ravi Nessman and Mariam Fam - Egyptian troops allowed Palestinians to flood across the border from Gaza for a second day Tuesday, heightening Israeli concerns that the crossing will become more porous and allow weapons to make their way to militants.
