EL-ARISH, Egypt January 4, 2013 (AP)Egyptian authorities seized six U.S.-made missiles in the Sinai Peninsula Friday that security officials said were likely smuggled from Libya and bound for the Gaza Strip.
Libya's 2011 uprising and subsequent civil war left the country awash in weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades, automatic rifles and other munitions. Since the end of the country's eight-month conflict, smugglers have transferred some of the weapons to Islamic militants in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, which has faced a security vacuum since the country's own uprising, and from there onward in underground tunnels to neighboring Gaza.
Security officials said that police working on a tip from local Bedouin discovered the six U.S.-made missiles hidden in a hole in the desert outside the northern Sinai city of el-Arish before dawn on Friday. They said the anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles have a range of up to two kilometers (one mile). . .

Over the past year, Egypt’s Interior Ministry has confiscated hundreds of weapons smuggled from Libya, often near the Egyptian city of Marsa Matrouh, which is located along the Mediterranean coastal highway some 430 kilometers (270 miles) northwest of Cairo. Last month, security officials seized 17 French-made missiles near el-Arish, some 750 kilometers east of Marsa Matrouh along the coast, before they could be smuggled through tunnels to the Gaza Strip.
bammy and hildy will be saddened... they worked so hard to get them to the terrorists.

FBI kept from Bengazi for over 3 weeks:
Would immediate on-scene forensics have shown US weapons were used by “rebels” in attack...?

How Many will be used to Murder our kin? :(
AT4? Javelin? Spike? Stinger?
Guesses?
U.S. made missiles? I can’t say that I’ve kept up with every development, but did we sell Kaddafi U.S. made missiles, even after we got on better terms with him?
Or was the CIA bringing in and transferring U.S. weapons to terrorists in Benghazi?
Maybe Kaddafi had some U.S. weapons, but it would be nice if there was ANYBODY in the news media who could be trusted to look into this.
We probably sold Libya the C-4 they used to bring down Pan Am 103.
Looks like Stevens did not die in vain...
his mission, originating from Hillary! and Ø looks like it was a success.
The [proxy] war, pitting the US against Israel, continues...
Other reports say one or more of the six missiles had a range of 75 MILES:
That range would suggest to me that one or more missiles was a SURFACE TO SURFACE missile.
Can anyone tell me of a surface to air missile featuring a range of 75 miles...?
I have never heard of an ATM with a range of 75 miles.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
That was Semtex.
Where did the missiles come from for TWA-800?
Paging, Hillary. Hillary, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Look up Boeing 747 cargo door failures. Seem like a common link between Lockerbie and TWA 800.
No, I have been reading for years on these items. I have a good handle on it.
