Egypt military foils attempt to smuggle arms from Libya

Egypt's military foiled an attempt to smuggle arms and illegal materials into the country across its western border with Libya on Monday (October 30th) evening, Egypt’s Ahram Online reported.

The operation resulted in the destruction of six four-wheel drive vehicles and the killing of all "criminal elements" inside, the armed forces said in a statement.

"Egypt's border guard units, along with the air force, are combing the western borders in the area of the operation," the military said.

The Egyptian military has been conducting operations in Egypt's Western Desert to stop the infiltration of militants and the smuggling of weapons across the Egyptian-Libyan border.
