Custom officials in Lagos have seized 13 containers reportedly holding weapons bound for Hamas. Nigerian customs said the containers held rocket launchers, grenades and other explosives, all of which were camouflaged as construction material. One report said 107mm rockets and 60mm mortar rounds were among the cache. The clearing agent in charge of unloading containers offered to bribe Nigerian customs officials to transfer the containers to a terminal for screening outside the port, according to reports from Nigeria. At least three people were arrested by Nigerian security forces over the matter. The incident exposes a new smuggling route of weapons bound to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
