    The cargo was destined to reach the Multinational Force and Observers in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, and consisted mainly of training equipment.

    But UN officials had apparently neglected to inform El Al, Israel’s national carrier, about the transfer of the consignment copntaining military landmines, some of them primed to detonate, toToronto’s Pearson International Airport,

    The anonymous weapons shipment sparked a high alert and El Al refused to allow the containers aboard its Tel Aviv-bound plan, handing them to Canadian forces for examination.

    El Al refused to comment directly on the incident, but in an official statement emphasized that all cargo carried by the company undergoes meticulous security checks.

    No El Al flights were delayed as a result of the incident.

    The United “Arab” Nations should send their cargo with all their “friendly” countries and stop bashing Israel for their security against their “own” country given to them by the One Above and by the UN Charter.
