Title: could be interesting
Post by: tinkerman on June 05, 2010, 12:20:33 PM: Turkish PM now talking of sailing with aid flotilla to Gaza, what will the israeli navy do now? where will USA stand on this?

The reason given for boarding these ships in international waters is searching for weapons of mass destruction...

Thanks,
Tom

Post by: maximumtom on June 06, 2010, 10:15:36 AM: This is very strange. I have done a search of sky news website but could find no sign of it. I have also tried other news sites without success. I have however found reference to the story on the following link.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=129221§ionid=351020204
It is interesting that this Lebanese newspaper is the only one to carry the story. I would appreciate it if anyone who finds more references would call my attention to them. Thanks.

Post by: maximumtom on June 06, 2010, 10:23:35 AM: Another intersting bit of information is that Presstv - the site that reported the Lebanese newspaper - is Iran's television network, broadcasting in English. Sounding more and more like porky pies to me. Somebody wants to put Mr Erdogan in the hot seat.
