Sudanese Caught Seeking Asylum in Israel Reported: 22:03 PM - Jun/02/07
(IsraelNN.com) Seven Sudanese were caught Friday trying to sneak into Israel, among them a one-year-old girl. Egyptian border police who interviewed the group said they were refugees from the Darfur area and were seeking asylum in Israel.

In order to reach Israel, they hired underworld elements in Cairo to smuggle them across the Sinai and into Israel, at a cost of $500 a person. ![]() Sign up to receive the Daily Israel Report by email (Free) © IsraelNN Syndications - This article may not be republished freely.
