Mystery Missiles

This Jerusalem Post article reports a strike by unmanned Israeli aircraft on a convoy of trucks carrying Iranian missiles across the Sudan headed for Gaza. A quick look at a map suggests (a) Sudan does not share a border with Gaza and (b) none of the countries with which Sudan shares a border would be logical sources for Iranian missiles.

Oddly, the press is not questioning this report. Sudan is west of Gaza, Iran is east of Gaza. The two do not share borders, not even close. Between the two is the entire Arabian peninsula, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf.

What nobody is reporting is what in blazes Iranian missiles are doing in Sudan, how did they happen to be there? Somebody needs to do investigative reporting on the history of these missiles.
