Pharaoh Hosni stops an aid convoy from heading to Gaza...
Dozens of activists, mostly from Egypt's opposition Muslim Brotherhood, were arrested Monday after attempting to send a supply convoy to the blockaded Gaza Strip, the organization and security officials said.Abdel-Fatah Rizq, who was coordinating the convoy for Egypt's biggest opposition group, said police arrested at least 50 activists when they tried to gather at the Journalists' Syndicate in downtown Cairo before making the 200 mile (300 kilometer) journey across the Sinai desert to the border.
"Activists from all over the provinces were planning on joining the convoy on its way through the Sinai to Rafah crossing," he said. The Brotherhood Web site said some activists, including parliament members, slipped through security to reach Rafah on the border.
I can hear it now... "Didn't you get the memo... you're supposed to be smuggling those weapons underground... concealing it in food shipments is a waste of food!"
