Re: ALERT: HIJACKED IRANIAN SHIP WAS DIRTY NUKE BOMB MEANT FOR ISRAEL ON YOM KIPPURQuote

..........
The MV Iran Deyanat was brought to Eyl, a sleepy fishing village in northeastern Somalia, and was secured by a larger gang of pirates - 50 onboard and 50 onshore. The Somali pirates attempted to inspect the ship's seven cargo containers but the containers were locked. The crew claimed that they did not have the "access codes" and could not open them. Pirates have stated they were unable to open the hold without causing extensive damage to the ship, and threatened to blow it up The Iranian ship’s captain and the engineer were contactd by cell phone and demanded to disclose the actual nature of the mysterious “powdered cargo” but the captain and his officers were very evasive. Initially they said that the cargo contained "crude oil" but then claimed it contained "minerals." Following this initial rebuff, the pirates broke open one of the containers and discovered it to be filled with packets of what they said was “a powdery fine sandy soil”


Within a period of three days, those pirates who had boarded the ship and opened the cargo container with its gritty sand-like contents, all developed strange health complications, to include serious skin burns and loss of hair. And within two weeks, sixteen of the pirates subsequently died, either on the ship or on shore.


News about the illness and the toxic cargo quickly reached Garowe, seat of the government for the autonomous region of Puntland. Angered over the wave of piracy and suspicious about the Iranian ship, authorities dispatched a delegation led by Minister of Minerals and Oil Hassan Allore Osman to investigate the situation on September 4. and they witnessed some of the deaths due to exposure to ‘something on that ship.’

The Somali pirates initially set the ship's ransom at $2 million and the Iranian government provided $200,000 to a local broker "to facilitate the exchange." The $2 million dollar ransom agreement, which was supposedly secured on September 6th, never took place for reasons unknown. After September 10th, sanctions on IRISL were applied specifically because the company was said to engaged in illicit operations on behalf of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Serious negotiations were broken off completely. Iranian authorities subsequently denied that it agreed to the price nor had paid any money to the pirates. Nevertheless, after sanctions were applied to IRISL on September 10, Osman says, the Iranians told the pirates that the deal was off. "They told the pirates that they could not come because of the presence of the U.S. Navy." The region is patrolled by the multinational Combined Taskforce 150, which includes ships from the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet.

Subsequently, it was disclosed that the U.S. government had offered to pay $7 million to the pirates to "receive entry permission and search the vessel." Officials in the Pentagon and the Department of State have consistently refused to comment on the situation.

The exact nature of the cargo remains officially a mystery but officials in Puntland and Baidoa are convinced the ship was carrying weapons to Eritrea for Islamist insurgents. "We cannot inspect the cargo yet," Osman said, "but we are sure that it is weapons."

The US Navy (and the French and the Russians) have been hove to off the coast of Eyl, going anywhere once released, it will be seized once it gets to sea. The specific clauses that have been approved in both the UN and in Congress would allow the US Navy to seize the ship under the suspicion clause. The claims that there are weapons onboard, and the possibility there might be chemical weapons, has insured there is at the very minimum, an inspection of the ship by outside authority will be mandated. At this writing, the MV Iran Deyanat is at anchor, watched closely by American, French and Russian naval units.

Although American intelligence and government sources are maintaining a strictly observed silence, the same does not apply to the Russians and so it is that we learn the real story of the MV Iran Deyanat. She was an enormous floating dirty bomb, intended to detonate after exiting the Suez Canal at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and in proximity to the coastal cities of Israel. The entire cargo of radioactive sand, obtained by Iran from China (the latter buys desperately needed oil from the former) and sealed in containers which, when the charges on the ship are set off after the crew took to the boats, will be blasted high into the air where prevailing winds will push the highly dangerous and radioactive cloud ashore.

Given the large number of deaths from the questing Somali pirates, it should be obvious that when the contents of the ship’s locked cargo containers finally descended onto the land, the death toll would be enormous. This ship was nothing more nor less than the long-anticipated Iranian attack on Israel. Not the expected rocket attacks (which could be interdicted by the Israelis) but even more deadly and unexpected attack by sea.. It is very interesting to note that the Israeli government has in the past few weeks, been loudly demanding that the United States establish a naval blockade of Iran.

The reason for this blockade would be to prevent any more Iranian ships with deadly cargos from attacking either Israel or other targets from the sea.

A yeshiva student in the north-central Samaria town of Yitzhar fired a homemade Kassam-like rocket at a hostile Arab village; no one was hurt. The GSS is investigating.
[link to www.israelnationalnews.com]

Ma'an - Palestinians are not the only ones producing homemade projectiles: Israeli settlers now also have Qassam rockets, according to the Hebrew daily newspaper Ma’ariv.

On Friday the newspaper published details of Israeli settlers from the Yitzhar settlement near the West Bank city of Nablus launching projectiles at a nearby Palestinian village.

An Israeli settler admit Israels 400.000 settlers are an important part of the military defence of Israel. That means Israels government are using 400.000 civilians and children as human chields on occupied land for Israel. The use of civilians in military operations is illegal accordeing to international law. Settling occupied land is illegal according to international law

I don't know an awful lot about this post but if it is not true somebody has gone to a hell of a lot of trouble and expense to make it seem so. First off, there have posts on GLP for almost two weeks regarding the ship in question and its apprehension by pirates not uncommon to the area. Secondly, there have been posts for about 5 days now about the strange plight of the pirates who took the ship. Third, there have been posts about the US Navy and Russian Navy moving in the area as related to this piracey in particular. Now my question is with all of this activity taking place this doesn't appear to be ones normal boy scout outing does it?

just saying.


Antisemitism will always take over from doom on this site.
mention israel and they all come out of their holes to comment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 518092



Anti-Semitic? Is this being anti-Arabs as well?
History shows that both Arabs and Jews have the same ancestry within the Semitic tribes(remember a year or so ago when the DNA findings regarding this historical fact were muzzled by Zionists in order to protect the fact that today most of Israeli citizens are not of Semitic origin - hence being called anti-Semitic if you don't like them it is scientifically stupid).

Hence, when I hear one referring to a critic of Israel as an anti-Semitic , I laugh and realize how ignorant that individual really is. Note in the comment pasted below how an Educated geneticist refers to one being critical to Israel : anti-Jewish ... and not anti-Semitic ...

Share this scientific information with others please and when some one calls you anti-Semitic because you criticize Israel, tells them you have nothing against Arabs , and let them wonder in their ignorance.


In historic times all Western Asia, with the exception of the peninsula of Asia Minor, was Semitic. From the philological point of view the Semitic peoples are divided into four chief Babylonian-Assyrian Semites (East Semites), Chanaanitic Semites, (West Semites), Aramaic Semites (North Semites), and Arabian Semites (South Semites). The last-named group is divided into North and South Arabians, of which last the Abyssinians are a branch. The first three groups are usually termed North Semites, in contrast to the Arabian group, or South Semites.



In addtion, why would Iran want to bomb Israel, when it is IRAN who has the treasure(oil) already????

It would be like a bank robbing a crackhouse. Makes no sense!!!

It is really a shipload of DU contaminated sand that we had to 'repatriate' like we did with the contamination in Kuwait but Cheney and his ziocons saw a chance to use it in a false flag 'Iranian' attack that could justify the use of all those bunker busters Israel has 'bought' from us with our own money (military aid = corporate socialsim). And this way we don't even have to worry about the DU sand anymore.

While I agree with most of your post, I don't agree with your quick rush to antisemitism. If anything, you fall as quickly to use the anti-semitism label as the supposed antisemetics rush to their supposed antisemitism. chew on that for a while.

Look at Israel's past and their use of false flag operations. And what does Iran have to gain from sending a ship full of nuclear waste? The OP has no reliable source. If we're to take TBRNews at their word, then Israel has already started the war against Iran with this:

Myth of Iran wiping Israel off the map dispelled

[link to www.thetruthseeker.co.uk]

Press TV: Alright, you just mentioned Israel and you called it the Zionist regime. A lot of controversy surrounds this issue. On the eve of your trip, the Jewish lobby is at work protesting, but behind the scenes stronger hands are at work to lobby each and every important politician in New York for both sanctions and a possible military attack against Iran. I want to know about this issue and the controversy of Israel being wiped off the map. A lot of controversy is surrounding that… was it a mistranslation, not a mistranslation? Mike Wallace had this interview with you a couple of years back. One part of it, a major part of it, was edited out. Your idea on the destruction of the state of Israel and Israel should be wiped off the map? The part you talked about democracy and referendum?

Ahmadinejad: We said we do not accept this regime and the solution that we are presenting is a humanitarian solution. It is a very clear solution. We are saying that the Palestinians should decide their destiny themselves; they should choose their own political system. What we are saying is very clear. We believe that the people whose ancestors have lived in that land and own the land although they have been deported and expelled and are under occupation, we are saying that they are the ones….

Press TV: So you did not threaten to wipe Israel off the map as an Iranian leader? That we will wipe Israel off the map?

Ahmadinejad: No. We say that the people of Palestine should have rights and when the people of Palestine exercise this right, this will happen. Where is the Soviet Union? The Soviet Union has been wiped off the map. What happened to the Soviet Union? The decision of the people, the vote of the people. When the people of the Soviet Union, the Russian people, were allowed to decide to take charge of their destiny, the Soviet Union disappeared.

The Zionist regime is an artificial regime… a fictitious regime. You brought people from different parts of the world and you have built this state. No, that cannot last, it is not sustainable. If they do not listen to our solution, this will happen one day

One factoid is that China imports iron ore, it doesnt export it. So the manifest from China to Rotterdam doesnt make sense.

[link to news.xinhuanet.com]

from a comment's post at

[link to www.longwarjournal.org]

Ok let me lay out the situation for you.
There used to be two groups of pirates, there were Hawiye pirates (who operated out of Harardhere) who served the interests of the Hawiye warlords who made up the ARPCT (the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism) which was the proxy group in Somalia financed by the US government through Ethiopia. The second group are Majerteen pirates operating from Eyl who work for the Government of Puntland, a key proxy state for Ethiopia, and by extension, a key US ally in Somalia.

Until 2006, the ARPCT pirates were the most successful, and the Puntland pirates were the lesser group. However when the UIC destroyed the ARPCT in June of 2006, they took out the ARPCT's main source of funds in August 2006 when they destroyed the piracy operation in Harardhere.

This is when the Puntland pirates operating out of Eyl then had no competition. Adde Musa, the president of Puntlant, gets a cut of 40% of all the piracy profits, and the pirates are all Puntland militia on government payroll.

Garowe is a 2 hour drive from Eyl, and it is beyond absurd to consider that they have no control over the pirates, but that's the line anyways. This is the game, the government that is "negotiating on behalf of" the pirates are not, the demands they are "relaying" are THEIR demands. It's government-sponsored piracy.

The pirates are US allies, believe it or not, and the US Navy turns a blind eye to their activities.

The UIC will be all to happy to help in combating piracy, and cut the support out from under their opponents.
