Baltic Pirates = Mossad operation?

Okay - there's not a lot of hard facts in this but remember that whole Russian mystery ship hijack?

Here's one version:

The Arctic Sea, carrying 15 Russian crew, left Finland on 23 July bound for the Algerian port of Bejaia.

A day later, in the Baltic Sea, the ship was reportedly boarded by masked men who claimed to be Swedish anti-drugs police. They tied up the crew and searched the vessel, apparently leaving about 12 hours later.

Then there was the arrest of Estonian hijackers - and the internment of the ship's crew.

Now you have a Russian journalist claiming that the ship's cargo was illicit weapons - and subsequently fleeing the country.

And the Sunday Times is quoting sources that say the cargo was S-300 anti-air weapons bound for the middle east. The BBC is speculating that the initial hijacking may have been a Mossad operation.

You wonder if the press will keep digging - if only to prove that there really are no pirates in the Baltic.

Too weird.
