Egypt finds Sinai weapons cache

CAIRO, May 15 (UPI) -- Egyptian investigators say a stockpile of 266 rockets and other weapons found in the Sinai was destined for Hamas in Gaza.

The find was reported Friday by al-Quds al-Arabi, an Arab language newspaper in London, which said the munitions were discovered Monday close to the border with Israel. An official said that in addition to the rockets, there were three anti-tank missiles, 51 mortar shells, 21 grenades and 43 mines.

An Egyptian security source told al-Quds al-Arabi that more weapons and ammunition were found in an unoccupied hideout.
