Freedom Flotilla III ship sabotaged
One of the ships in the Freedom Flotilla III fleet has been sabotaged,
forcing flotilla organisers to replace it, Israeli-born Swedish activist
Dror Feiler revealed.
Feiler said that "unknown forces" sabotaged
one of the ships and that "they did a job that only professionals could
do." He added that had the shop sailed in its condition, it would have
sunk in the middle of the sea, drowning the activists on board.
"Somebody
went underneath the ship at night and sabotaged its propellers, just
like they sabotaged the same ship in 2011," he explained.
Shortly
after midnight today, a number of those participating in the Freedom
Flotilla III caught up with the first ship in the flotilla, the Marianne
av Goteborg, in international waters. The Marianne originally departed
from Sweden on 10 May.
