Egypt Seizes Aid Supplies for Gaza 'Egyptian police on Thursday seized 2,200 tons of food and medical aid destined for the region, AFP reported. Two members of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hossam al-Shurbagi and Kamel al-Shaarawi, were also arrested, accused of 'illegally' storing the food in three warehouses, a security official said. Shurbagi said the aid was being stored pending the reopening of the Rafah border crossing. "No humanitarian, media or medical delegations will be allowed through, nor will medical aid deliveries be permitted," an Egyptian border official had told AFP. Police: Israel's Kingmaker Corrupt to Bone ' "The police source said there was no doubt about money laundering," Dep.-Cmdr. (ret.)

Lieberman, the leader of Yisrael Beiteinu party, is under investigation over using Cypriot bank accounts for money laundering. He is also suspected of involvement in fraud and bribery.'
