MYSTERY
Did Israel hijack a Russian ship?
Israel intercepted a Russian-manned cargo ship allegedly carrying secret weapons that had disappeared, a European Union official said. Adm. Tarmo Kouts, the European Union's rapporteur on piracy and a former commander of the Estonian armed forces, told Time in an article posted on the magazine's Web site that although Russia claimed the ship was carrying lumber, only a shipment of missiles could explain its actions since the alleged hijacking on July 24. "There is the idea that there were missiles aboard, and one can't explain this situation in any other way," Kouts told Time. "As a sailor with years of experience, I can tell you that the official versions are not realistic." Russia's envoy to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin, said Kouts should stop "running his mouth," Time reported.
