On July 24, 2009, the freighter Arctic Sea was boarded by pirates off the Swedish coast. The freighter had a Russian crew and was reported to be carrying $1.8 million worth of timber from Finland to Algeria. On July 28th, the hijacked freighter disappeared after last being seen in the English Channel. On August 16th, the mysterious ship was found off the coast of the Cape Verde Islands.
The Arctic Sea is the first reported case of piracy in Northern Europe in the last 100 years. It is also the first reported case of a big ship ever vanishing off the face of the earth for a couple of weeks.
Reports have now surfaced that the Arctic Sea was carrying more than just timber destined for Algeria and that the pirates were not at all pirates. According to reports, the Arctic Sea was carrying an advance Russian S-300 air defense missile system for delivery to Iran. According to reports, the ‘pirates’ who hijacked the vessels were from Israel’s vaunted intelligence agency, Mossad.
Iran is under an arms embargo as a result of its failure to allow international inspection of its nuclear facilities. Although it claims to be developing its nuclear technology strictly for civilian purposes, it is widely believed that Iran, an oil rich nation with no need for a nuclear power electrical generator, is intent on building nuclear weapons..
It is far from clear whether the Arctic Sea was carrying S-300 missiles. According to Russian Pavel Felgehauer, a military affairs columnist for Russia’s Novaya Gazeta, the ship’s hold is too small.
Comments
Apparently with all the talks that is coming out of Iran and their boasting of having developed a Missile that can bring down other missiles or they are able to shoot down cruse missiles, the S-300 are already installed in Iran. The Technology that Iran is boasting about is not a common every day Katusha rocket or a simple missile. So, it should not surprise anyone if the S-300 are already in Iran and operational.
The only reason for the Zionists to be so excited about Iran's Nuclear Technology is their fear of losing their monopoly. It should not be a surprise to them either if they find out that Iran also has the bomb already .
What the Zionists want is to start another war to distract the world and not to follow up with the peace treaty with the Palestinians. They always have pegged a non issue to the peace treaty in the past and we are wise to that this time. They will return the occupied territories to the Palestinians one way or the other.
