Egypt’s official army spokesman said on Tuesday that the military guards of the Western border were able to thwart an attempt to smuggle arms and drugs onto Egyptian soil near the Salloum port.
General Ahmed Aly added on his official Facebook page that forces confiscated four sacks that contained 10 machine guns among other arms and 50 kg of "hash".
He explained that the case has been presented to a special prosecutor in order to take all the necessary steps regarding the confiscations.
The spokesman insisted that the guards' enhanced efforts continue around all borders to secure Egypt's strategic spots, maintain Egypt's stability and exclude any attempts to shake national security.
