Of course, the claim it was carrying arms for Syria is based on....absolutely nothing.
But hey, we don’t care whether something is true or not, we just care if it’s interesting!
My first thought, too. What evidence is there that it was carrying arms. how did it get there so soon, what was it doing in the Indian Ocean. Some ship broke up and sank, at some time, that’s all we know for sure.
