Egypt seizes explosives on ship coming from Israel - People's Daily Online August 16, 2010

Egyptian security forces seized a ship loaded with explosives coming from Israel and arrested its owner in Port Said, Egypt's independent Al-Shorouk daily reported on Monday.

The explosives were loaded inside containers on board of the ship, the newspaper reported without providing further details about the ship and explosives.

The police arrested Joseph Botryose El-Gabalwi, the owner of the ship, but the court ordered releasing him temporarily, while the Egyptian Public Prosecutor Abdel Meguid Mahmoud prevented him from traveling abroad.

any thoughts on what this was for?

Is there a possibility that the Israeli government was not a party to the explosives and that it was perhaps sent by a more radical group?
