"...... A Russian newspaper concluded that the ship was hijacked by Mossad agents because of reports it was carrying ballistic missiles to Iran. This report was also quoted in a number of Arab media publications .......In one such rumor, the website of the Russian newspaper, Pravda, reported that the ship was supposed to transport cruise missiles to Iran, but that "a power that has relations with Ukraine" prevented this. The site also claims that Russia planned on relaying the weapons to Algeria as a stopover before heading to Iran. According to the report, Russia has transported weapons to Iran in this manner in the past.
The Pravda report claimed that Russia planned on sending experts to Iran to train the Iranians in how to operate the weapons system. According to the newspaper, "a Western power" was notified of the issue, but decided to operate in an unofficial channel in order to avoid a large-scale international conflict.
According to Ukrainian news site, Obozrevatel, Russia responded hysterically when it found out that the information had been leaked to "a Western power." The websites also reported that the ship's crew was aware of the fact that they were carrying unusual cargo, but did not know exactly what it was. None of the various Russian and Ukrainian news reports identified which country is behind the hijacking "operation."
However, a column was published in Novaya Gazeta by Julia Latynina raising a number of questions about the affair. She questioned the likelihood that pirates would attack in such a high-traffic area. .........."

Saw a report on the news interviewing a British freight observer who keeps track of cargo ships immediately after the rescue.
He said the whole thing seemed suspicious that with today's communication software it would be next to impossible to "lose" a ship with millions of dollars worth of cargo of the coast of Europe.
He also said that the Russian response sending their whole black sea fleet to find the ship was strange since it was only supposed to be carrying some timber.
Asked what he thought the guy said there was a general feeling amount the workers that it was drugs or maybe a WMD.
He also said the hijacking must have been done by professionals.
Maybe it is time Mossad went to other agencies for training. I think their ego's have been too inflated. I guess hype does this to you.
