Egypt: Palestinians trained bombers


Tuesday 23 May 2006, 18:59 Makka Time, 15:59 GMT

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip contributed to the training and funding of the Sinai group that has killed about 120 people in a series of bombings, Egypt said.

A statement by the interior ministry on Tuesday said the group received support from two "Muslim extremists" in Gaza.

It named the first only as Abu Suleiman, saying he provided money, and the second as Majid al-Deri, alleging he trained the Sinai militants in the use of explosives and firearms in the Gaza Strip.

It was the first time Egypt made a direct connection between militants on both sides of the Egypt-Gaza border.
