Fake Sugar Embarrasses EU

(Gaza Strip) It seems that terrorists are disguising their explosives shipments as sacks of sugar from the European Union.

Expressing condemnation, EU diplomats have voiced an official "Harumph!"

"We condemn any abuse of humanitarian aid for non-humanitarian purposes, and those who commit such acts do so to the detriment of the Palestinians," an EU diplomatic official said.

"If this was an attempt to misuse the name of the EU or European Commission it would be an isolated criminal act and we condemn it," the official said. "But this criminal act cannot put into question the efforts by the EU to provide aid that is vital for the most vulnerable Palestinians."

The IDF released a statement Saturday saying a truck carrying 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate, a substance banned because it is used to manufacture explosives and Kassam rockets, was caught at one of the crossing points in Judea and Samaria. The statement said the potassium nitrate was disguised in sugar bags marked as being part of the humanitarian aid provided by the EU.

Frankly, I don't think that anyone should be surprised to learn that the terrorists are a bunch of sneaky bastards.
