ReutersEgypt vows to control Gaza borderSun Jan 27, 2008 9:12am EST
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed
Aboul Gheit said on Sunday Egypt would take steps to
control its border with the Gaza Strip as soon as
possible.
A Foreign Ministry statement provided no further
details and ministry officials were not available for
comment.
Egypt tried without success to seal the border with
the coastal strip after militants blew holes in the
boundary wall last week.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said
Egypt had agreed to Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas's plan to assume control of Gaza's crossing
with Egypt, excluding Hamas Islamists who rule the
territory.
