Angola denies Chinese ship from unloading weapons
2008-04-28
  • Angola won't allow weapons to be unloaded from ship
  • Many fear that its cargo is bound for Zimbabwe, now suffering political crisis
  • U.S. has asked other southern African countries not to allow the ship to dock

    #5  There are other ways of bringing in weapons with little or no fanfare or bruhaha. Zim Bob was just buying in bulk and became high profile with a sh*t ship load of weapons and ammo.

    #4  I'd say it's a little easier to sell a ship full of weapons than it is a garbage barge.

    #3  Is this going to be like that garbage barge from New York (or similar) that sailed around the world for a year or two looking for a place to unload before ending up back at its original destination?
