Border clash
A sudden, unexpected event....

3 Egyptian policemen killed by Israeli army on border at Rafah...

Meanwhile, Sharon apologizes... 

Plus, BBC looks at the incident's timing in light of the Gaza withdrawal. Egypt demands a full investigation.

Question: Why was Sharon's admission of having pushed for war with Egypt in 1967 released and publicized just a day earlier?

Sudden swarms
Reuters compares Wednesday's locust invasion of Cairo to Biblical plague number 8...

Plus, a photo of the pyramids obscured by millions of the flying bugs...

Meanwhile, the Agriculture Ministry tries to keep matters calm...
