'Iranian arms ship destroyed near Sudan'

Jerusalem Post ^ | 4/26/09 | staff

[Nachum]

An Iranian vessel en route to Sudan in order to deliver weapons to Hamas in the Gaza Strip was attacked by an Israeli or American ship and destroyed, according to a report Sunday in the Egyptian weekly Al-Usbua.

Had to be Israeli.
Obambi would never allow a US strike.

[Joiseydude]

Had to be an Israeli ship. Ain’t no way the Dear Leader would give an American ship orders to fire on an Iranian ship.

[stevem]

If this is true, it seems reasonable.

[vladimir998]

I ain’t cryin’ over it.

[pillut48]

Aw, man! Now those poor widdle mistweated piwates will have to do without!! Wahhhh!!!

[mainestategop]

Yeah, but then again even the Israelis can be cowards at times.

[F15Eagle]

Hope there’s verification of this as true.

Bibi “sent a message” to Mr. Dinner Jacket.

This follows the very heavy Israeli drone attack (which almost went without ANY report at all) about a month back. Bunch of trucks loaded down with Iranian gear, going from Sudan to Egypt, due to be smuggled into Gaza. I heard it was a huge shipment of great rockets/missiles —not the crap they usually cook up in Gaza.

The force was MOSTLY UAV’s, and this strike was a very long-range one.

There were like 15-20 heavy trucks destroyed, and about 50-70 bad people killed.

The bad stuff all got zapped. I do not know the exact composition of the force, but I heard it was not all UAV’s, no.

[gaijin]

I forgot to add; the Tel Aviv/Khartoum distance is the same as the Tel Aviv/Tehran distance, so the question of strike distance has already more or less been answered.

No, no just those pesky Somali pirates. Funny how they dress, white guys with yamulkes on their heads and carrying Uzis.

[SolidWood]

If this involved commandos, I can imagine Israel using Ethiopian Falasha Jews, not your typical Ashkenazi.

[LeoWindhorse]

good first steps , let’s roll

[LibLieSlayer]

I hope they took out the crew too!

IF this is true. So far it’s a report from an egyptian newpaper.

[F15Eagle]

Good. That no doubt made little Ahmadnutjob frustrated.

If the ship went down, the EPIRB beacons will automatically float free and signal distress.

[The Electrician]

Wow, I keep hearing about all of those "tragic boating accidents" where people have "lost" entire collections of firearms.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow this one sounds a bit different from the rest...

[Rebelbase]

“the EPIRB beacons will automatically float free and signal distress.”

Third world hell-hole merchant marine fleet smugglers use EPIRPBs?

[Non-Sequitur]

Had to be Israeli.
Obambi would never allow a US strike.

Agreed.

[fso301]

Third world hell-hole merchant marine fleet smugglers use EPIRPBs?

Who knows? Some things are common to sailors regardless of what flag they sail under and what side of the law they operate on.

I would certainly think every experienced sailor knows a risk exists that their ship can go down. They don't have a lifeboat aboard because the law requires it but because they know they may need it. Similarly for the emergency beacons.
