The “Russian media” is Novaya Gazeta, one of the rare independant paper in Russia, where the late Anna Politkovskaia worked.
The info is thus credible.
a bit strange explanation. If it really were Mossad, they surely would know that various navies were looking for the ship so the Israeli approach would have been eliminating the missiles and leaving the ship.
What is the point of staying in the ship when knowing Russian navy is looking it..
For a Russian newspaper, these guys are not bad. The information is well written and well thought out.
The visit of the Israeli president and the fact tha the Black Sea fleet went all the way to Africa does seem to signify this was a Black Ops.
All we have to guess is whodunit.
The Israelis?
The Americans?
The Indians? (no suspicion raised.. great friends of Israel)
Why am I not surprised....
I never trusted the Soviets and I will never, ever trust the Russians, period. They were in bed with Saddam until the very end, they did everything they could to hurt us in Iraq. Screw the Russians.
my sources say SPECTRE was behind it.
Very interesting times we live in.
“Oy-oy, oy-oy, a pirate’s life for me!”
What's the difference between a stateless person and a person whose citizenship isn't clarified?
Or is that just code for three Palestinian terrorists?
Blame the Joooooooooooz!
Once again, its the JJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssss
A Russian newspaper claimed Friday that suspected pirates who boarded the freighter Arctic Sea were actually agents of the Israeli secret service trying to stop it from smuggling arms into Iran... may have been carrying illegal X-55 cruise missiles destined for Iran hidden among its cargo of lumber... the daily pointed to the surprise visit of Israeli President Shimon Peres Aug 18, a day after the Arctic Sea, which had been missing for three weeks, had been tracked down and liberated by Russian forces off West Africa... Russian authorities denied that the Arctic Sea had been smuggling weapons... The deployment at great expense of Russian Black Sea fleet to liberate the hijacked ship was undertaken for the sake of the 15 Russian seamen on board and not supposed weapons, Rogozin said... The suspects include a Lithuanian, a Russian, three stateless people, and a Spaniard, the report said, adding that the citizenship of the two remaining suspects had yet to be clarified.
Not Russia’s first attempt.

When in doubt, blame the Jews. </s>
