Arctic Sea ghost ship
European Union piracy watch head, Admiral Tarmo Kouts believes Israel is most likely to have carried out the hijacking of the Arctic Sea. Israelis have yet to be convinced.
The story about the hijacked Russian-crewed cargo ship grows ever more mysterious. The U.S. magazine Time is alleging that the Arctic Sea was intercepted by Israel as it carried weapons to the Middle East.
The Telegraph offers further speculation.
A Russian military source told The Sunday Times: “The official version is ridiculous and was given to allow the Kremlin to save face.
“I’ve spoken to people close to the investigation and they’ve pretty much confirmed Mossad’s involvement. It’s laughable to believe all this fuss was over a load of timber. I’m not alone in believing that it was carrying weapons to Iran.”
