News roundup

Yeah, I felt this one: 4.2 aftershock last night around 8. Slept through anything else since then.

I’m sure the terrorists don’t care: An Egyptian woman in the Sinai was wounded by rocket fire from Gaza. If she’d died, doubtless they’d say she was a martyr to the cause. Her family? Tough on them.

Where’s the Egyptian apology to Israel? Three of the terrorists were Egyptians, one of whom escaped from jail during the Cairo spring. Thanks, Egypt! And here’s why Egyptian soldiers were shot:

Also according to the IDF investigation, the Egyptian troops noticed the presence of the terrorists even before the attack was launched, but did nothing about it. Only later that evening did an officer and a few soldiers leave their post, evidently to stop the ongoing sniper fire. The terrorists, who were wearing uniforms similar to those of the Egyptian army, resisted.

Possibly at this moment, when the troops and the operatives merged together, the Egyptian soldiers were shot. It remain unclear who fired the deadly shots, as the soldiers’ bodies have yet to be autopsied by the Egyptian authorities.

Read the whole article. Of course, the Egytians will deny the facts. Just wait for it. And don’t expect to see a credible version of this in the AP, Reuters, or AFP. More on that later.
