I've been searching the news lately for information regarding that Iranian cargo ship that was hijacked by Somali pirates several months ago. Those of us paying attention to this stuff will remember that the pirates that attempted to plunder the cargo expired shortly thereafter due to mysterious illnesses which appear to be similar to radiation poisoning. Does anyone have any new info on this?
It was released.
Here’s a story from early October about this:

It was apparently released in early October. Funny how it just disappeared off the headlines about the time of the “mortgage meltdown”.
Here’s an interesting read: a 2004 report to congress which states the danger of a dirty bomb being loaded onto a supertanker while at sea. http://www.fas.org/irp/crs/RS21997.pdf

Don’t forget that the AQ video released in Nov. states their control of Somalia as proof of their ability to affect world global politics and economics.
My gut feeling is that the Deyanat hijacking is a major story, one that needed to be hidden from the public.
(That’s okay, I look good in tin foil)
