... mystery surrounding the hijacking of a Russian freighter in July has taken a new twist with reports claiming the pirates were acting in league with the Israeli Mossad secret service in order to halt a shipment of modern weapon systems hidden on board and destined for Iran.

...The Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported over the weekend that the vessel Arctic Sea had been carrying x-55 cruise missiles and S300 anti-aircraft rockets hidden in secret compartments among its cargo of timber and sawdust.

Maybe Hollyweird didn’t move to Vancouver.

Bold move if true!

Hard to say no to Zeva David.

Now, that’s Mossad I could get close to!

[wally_bert]

I could deal if she was the face and body of Mossad. In all seriousness though, Go Mossad Go! I wish our intelligence agencies would play hardball like Mossad. It seems like they used to.

Anything's possible. There were Jewish pirates, ignoring the rumors about Lafite and a few other prominent names (everyone looks for Jewish ancestors, before long Obama will be Jewish). Samuel Palache comes to mind, Abraham and Moses Henriques, though they were more prominent arms dealers. That Israel would do this, deliberately cover up evidence of Russia shipping arms to Iran, why? Why, on the "cover up".

Thanks for the assessment -

perhaps more information will surface in coming weeks -

...recall how long it took for all the news to leak out about IAFs strike on Syrian nuclear site - and even how much longer it took to reveal the actual target struck

Were the crew members drained of blood? If so, Israel is behind it. But seriously. Who knows? I tend to disbelieve articles that start with a statement of fact couched as a question.
