'Saddam may have moved WMD to Syria'

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein periodically removed guards on the Syrian border and replaced them with his own intelligence agents who supervised the movement of banned materials between the two countries, US investigators have said.
There is one other thing I recall from the period around the start of the war....much was being made of three mystery ships that were supposedly loaded with cargo from Iraq (maybe in a Yemeni port, I forget the details) and were sailing arond in circles in the oceans apparently biding their time. Whatever happened to those?
To me that was the perfect method of disposal - if Saddam survives they float the WMD home, if he doesn't they scuttle the ships in some deep and hostile ocean.
