Egyptian security forces reported Monday they busted 560 goats, half a ton of explosives, and five tons of cement. According to the Egyptian security forces those confiscated items were about to be smuggled into Gaza through the countless tunnels that links Egypt and Gaza. The Egyptian Security forces further commented that those items were going to be smuggled through six different tunnels, four of which is more than three meters wide. Needless to say Gaza remains under international community siege since June 2007.

OK, they can keep the explosive material, and the cement, but please let the goats go. I am seriously hoping they would allow the goat into Gaza since my sister in Gaza is shopping for one right now. I am sure the only group celebrating holding the goats hostages is PETA and their mascot Pam Anderson since the Palestinians now have to substitute the goat meat in their Maqlooba with tofu.

Neither the Palestinians nor the goats can be reached for comments.
