Greek military defends the west against terror

[Spiffor]

I rather think it was a big shipment destined to many terrorists, somewhere in Europe or in the ME, for bus attacks or similar.
Hopefully the inquiry will allow us to put an end to this smuggling route, which could reduce the amount of small-scale attacks for some time

I think that that opinion sounds plausible considering that together with the explosives there were 8,000 detonators.

But you can't be sure for where the attacks were intended. As said the destination of the ship was Khartum in Africa. After that place.... who knows.

It means three things :

- there are still bad guys with big money for organizing this kind of procurement and transportation

- the war against terrorism has not yet caught all of them but works well enough to prevent them from getting this stuff

- it seems that the delivery has not been made as planned: this could be an effect of the WAT or of unexpected developpements in the ME.

Overall a very good news and a warning.

Bravo!

Well if they were going East, then maybe they were headed Lebanon->Syria->Israel->the local disco?

Probably when the Israelis turn the screws the Palestianians import?

You'd think they'd be headed west if this was an al Qaeda/Islamic-militants-blowing-up-synagogues-in-Europe thing.

Yes maybe. Since, if it was headed for Europe, from Tunisia it is certaintly easier to just go north through Spain or Italy.

But from here...



Israel is relatively just a jump away.

But considering the sheer amount of explosives and the number of detonators, I wouldn't be surprised if some of it was also headed for other countries like Iraq or Afganistan.

Suez Canal and Bosphore are dramatic targets in the area.

It would be interesting to know what the Captain will say about the destination, whatever lie it is.

Markos probably swam to the ship all by himself, them boarded it with cutlass in mouth and a machine gun in each hand. Then he said something memorable, although carefully so that the cutlass wouldn't cut him, and then he totally flipped out and shot everybody and then shot them all again and ate the livers.

Even if Baltak Anatoliy, the captain, doesn't say anything, which I believe he will, we already have the future ittinairary of the ship from the bridge microchip and from surveillance of their telecommunications, according to reports.

"and then he Totally Flipped Out(tm) and shot everybody and then shot them all again and ate the livers"

you're copying that site about Ninjas aren't you??

Are you trying to say that the Greek government has transformed our beloved Markos into some kind of inhuman ninja commando killing machine?

[Bereta_Eder]

There are survivors though. Actually all of them.

I certainly hope not. He'll be a pain in the ass when he becomes mod again.

here's the inoccent looking ship.

And here's Markos, his hair cut short by the Greek army, bringing the captain to justice. He seems a bit pissed and the captain a bit not at ease.
