Israel Stops Ship with 500 Tons of Iranian Arms Bound for Hezbollah (Video)
Solomonia —
This is ten times the amount of weaponry that was on the Karin-A back in 2002. It's just one more example of how a rogue state like Iran can destabilize an entire region. Talks and agreements don't count for much. Things will change when the regime changes.
Here's video from the IDF:

Israel Navy intercepts cargo ship of Iranian arms for Hezbullah Yes, I'm in Boston again. Still sitting in the airport. For those who are wondering, yes, I'm going to see Dore Gold destroy Richard Richard Goldstone tomorrow (that's not why I came in - it just worked out. The Israeli navy intercepted an Iranian cargo ship carrying 500 tons of arms for Hezbullah on Wednesday. To put this in perspective, when the Israeli navy intercepted the Karine A cargo ship in January 2002, that ship was carrying 50 tons of arms. Let's go to the videotape. Here's the story: The Israel Navy intercepted the "Francop" cargo ship, which was laden with roughly 500 tons of weapons hidden amongst ...

The IDF has raided a ship from Antigua bound for Lebanon and Syria carrying weapons for the Hezbollah provided by Iran: Hundreds of tons of weaponry, ten times the size of the Karine A shipment of 2002, were seized in an overnight raid Tuesday by the Israeli navy, some 100 nautical miles west of Israel, officials said. The weapons seized on the ship, which was sailing under an Antiguan flag, included 3,000 rockets of various types. The transfer of such large amounts of weapons, "is done in order to create a balance of terror with Israel," said Brigadier General Rani ...

Below John refers to Israel's seizure of weapons from Iran bound for Syria and Hezbollah on board the Francop. The weapons seized on the ship included some 3,000 rockets of various types, as well as 60-millimeter mortars, 7.62-rifle Kalashnikov-ammunition, F-1 grenades and 122-millimeter Katyusha rockets. The ship's cache was reportedly ten times the size that of the Karine A's that Israel seized in 2002.
How did Israel do it? Israel must have some intelligence that led to the operation, but the Jerusalem Post emphasizes due diligence:
After several days of the Israeli military monitoring the ship, IDF Navy Seals boarded ...

In regards to whether UN has proof that Iran is smuggling arms to Hezbollah, after the Israeli capture of an Iranian ship bound for Lebanon, Yaacov Lozowick makes the mischievous observation:
Try to imagine what the world would be like if anyone trusted the important things to the United Nations.
But of course, it’s not just the UN that ignores proof. Consider Israel’s capture of the Karine A in 2002. Initially the New York Times reported:
The Israeli Army said today that it had seized a ship carrying 50 tons of rockets, mines, antitank missiles and other munitions meant for Yasir Arafat’s ...

Having been in the "Bidnez" the video below brought back a torrent of memories. I mean, not engaging in back alley contraband of gun-running, but the packing, crating and shipping of boom-boom candy all throughout the world. I always wore a "white" hat, for I do value being able to have a sound sleep at night. However, being in that milieu, one always heard through the grapevine the tricks and travails that those wearing "black" hats were doing. One heard of the Antonov that chased and shadowed the tail of a commercial plane all the way down range to Africa. Or of the Angolan bound cargo ship that all of a sudden "made water" and sank in international waters right after being ...

Fausta's Blog —
Welcome to the Carnival of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Around 200 Iranian businessmen accompanied Ahmadinejad’s delegation, in a sign of their eagerness to tap opportunities in a continent that does not consider Tehran a pariah.
Lucia Newman, formerly of CNN, reports on the visit,
