- MOSCOW (AFP) – Top Russian officials admitted Wednesday that a cargo ship hijacked under murky circumstances in the Baltic Sea may have been carrying a suspicious cargo, after initially playing down such reports.
- Speculation has been raging that the Arctic Sea — a ship that was seized by pirates near Sweden last month and vanished for weeks before being recaptured by the by the Russian navy — may have held weapons or even nuclear materials.
- [Moscow’s Investigator] Bastrykin pledged that “in a week and a half, we will give complete information” about the incident.
Hmm. I’ve been watching the back and forth on this hijacking for a
week, just waiting to hear more news on the actual cargo. Bastrykin will probably not offer much in the way of real information, but
Kaliningrad is well known for being a site of nuclear activity, likely leaving any state condoned statement on the hijacked cargo’s real status to continual speculation.
