Egypt's state prosecutor charged Monday two "Israelis" and a Ukrainian with smuggling weapons and trying to implicate Egyptian security.

A statement from the prosecutor's office said the three would be tried in an emergency state security court, usually reserved for terrorism cases. No date for the trial has been set.

"The smuggled weapons were to be used in illegal operations aimed to implicate Egyptian security," the statement unveiled.

The statement informed that "the first suspect, an "Israeli" of an Arab descent, Moaz Zahalka, arrived at the Occupied Palestine-Egypt border crossing at Taba, carrying a large wooden box shaped like a cross. Upon inspection, the officials found an automatic rifle and ammunition in the box."

The statement said that during interrogation, Zahalka, a tour agent, confessed he had two accomplices- a Ukrainian living in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheik, who had asked another "Israeli" to send him the weapon.

"Zahalka frequently visits Egypt's Red Sea resorts," the statement said.

"The Ukrainian and one "Israeli" are in custody, while the other "Israeli" has not been apprehended," the prosecution said.
