Was Israel's secret service behind the mysterious hijacking of a Russian freighter to foil a secret attempt to ship cruise missiles to Iran?

The 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.

While Israeli and Russian officials dismissed the reports, accounts published in the Russian media sounded more like a spy thriller than a commercial hijacking.

I hope this story is true and that Mossad did in fact do it.
What’s more, I hope they continue doing it starting tomorrow by wiping out Irans nuke program.

“In March, Israeli forces reportedly struck a weapons convoy in Sudan, some 1,400 kilometers from the country’s borders. According to the CBS, the weapons were intended for Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Nearly 40 people were killed in that attack.”

I doubt the hijacking occurred by Mossad because they would have not had their “pirates “ captured and the ship would likely be at the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean.

Where is the ship now? Did Russia turn it around and take it back to port? Let it continue?
