The Iranians say it was released in October. I do not see any independent confirmation though.

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)
