AL-ARISH: An Egyptian security official says a booby trapped suitcase carrying 25 kilograms of explosives was defused near the Egyptian border with Israel and Gaza.Al Arish is where yesterday's fuel truck explosion was as well.Police often find weapons caches destined for the Gaza Strip, but the official said finding an "advanced" bomb is rare.
The official said the bomb is being inspected to determine who was behind it and whether it was heading to Israel.
25 kilos is quite a large bomb, and it indicates that Hamas is trying hard to come up with new and innovative ways to murder Jews.
