This is why I still wonder did the terrorists get their hands on the Russian 9K33 Osa (NATO code name SA-8 Gecko) SAM system and jury-rigged a SAM launcher (complete with radar) that could fit into a larger pleasure boat?

I seem to recall reports of equipment found on the nearby shore that appeared to be a (perhaps improvised) missile launching system. I'd have to go back and look to see if my memory was correct.

Your memory is correct. I also saw that report. As I recall is was in a fairly deserted area, and found several weeks later. The article disappeared quickly and quietly. I always thought somebody should be jumping up and down about it!
