Last update - 12:06 03/02/2008 Palestinian tries to sneak lion, monkey into Gaza from Sinai By Reuters Tags: Israel, Gaza, Egypt, Lion While thousands of Palestinians flooded into Egypt to stock up on food, fuel and other staples after militants breached the Gaza border, one man bought a lion cub and a monkey to smuggle back home. The man managed to reach Cairo and buy the animals despite a heavy security cordon, but Egyptian police caught him at a checkpoint as he tried to sneak them back into Gaza in a small truck carrying furniture, security officials told Reuters on Saturday. They said the man, whom they did not identify, confessed to wanting to sell the cub and monkey in Gaza. Advertisement Gaza militants blew open the border wall with Gaza on Jan. 23, ending a seven-month blockade by Israel and Egypt. The Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed on Saturday to Egyptian calls to control the flow of Gazans through the border and said it expected Cairo to seal the remaining gaps in the wall.
