#1 Seeing that the ship went to Kalinigrad for modifications prior to picking up it's cargo in Finland, and seeing that Putin and Medvedev didn't know about the cargo until after the initial hijacking, and after finding the vessel off the African Coast weeks later, I was certain that the Russian media reports of a nuke or ADA device were most likely true.
Being hijacked by the Isreali's because the vessel was carrying advanced air defense systems for shipment to Iran through Syria makes perfect sense. Since the Israeli's are likely to be planning to strike the Iranian nuke facilities and the Iranians sorely need advanced ADA systems to stop them. All public, open source information....what an interesting story. |
