Gaza Smugglers Ready to Resume Work
[AP/Washington Post] Diaa Hadid - Gaza's tunnel smugglers are getting back to business after a forced break during the Gaza-Egypt border breach. Smuggler Abu Diya and his cohorts in Rafah said they'll resume operations once it makes economic sense, probably in about three weeks. Abu Diya said Hamas hauled in tons of new weapons and explosives during the breach. Gaza smugglers said Egyptian guards can be bribed, and many were before the break. "There's too many people interested in keeping the tunnels open. There's too much money to be made," one tunnel owner said.
