Don sent me this: "After the whole world
reported on the German Ship that IS carrying Iranian (or were it Russian?) weapons for Syria, it was all a
farce. No weapons were found
at all and all papers were correct. The Atlantic Cruiser is continuing its
trip. Der Spiegel reports
on who seemingly brought up the story first: “After Syrian opposition members had strongly warned the shipping company that there were weapons on
board of the ship for the regime of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the company
had stopped the freighter
and then immediately diverted it to Turkey. The opposition group, which called themselves "Syrian revolution Naval Forces" had threatened the shipping
company and downright announced plans to sink the freighter at the planned entry into the Syrian
port of Tartus.”"
