I don’t want to be an alarmist but after all the news about the Pirate ship action off East Africa, it got me thinking. And with additional information from one of our sources about a September incident with an Iranian Freighter hijacking, I really got concerned. An Iranian Freighter hijacking from Red China, called the MV Iran Deyant, went completely unreported and returned to Iran with 16 deaths.
It sailed from Nanjing China and was to head to Rotterdam, but according to US Coast Guard reports, the Iranians always falsify shipping manifests. It was boarded by pirates on August 21. By September 1, 16 of the Somali pirates were dead. Many were covered with skin burns and suffered hair loss and nausea and other indications of Radiation sickness or biological weapons.
So what was the ship transporting, and where was it headed.?
One of the things that US Homeland security has their eyes on is AL Qaeda Shipping via Airlines and Ocean vessels. Long ago, there was a threat of Large Al Qaeda vessels loaded with dirty bomb material.
The ship loaded with a nuclear device or just Chemicals in a volume to make the Oklahoma City bombing look like a firecracker would do a lot of damage to any west coast port of entry, Houston’s Ship channel, or any Eastern Coast line City. If a dirty bomb, the “fine, white, sandy soil” known to be on board would provide a perfect Dirty bomb to settle on any city with a Westerly wind current. A successful attack on the LA port where much of that nations imports arrive would be catastrophic, for example. In many Homeland Security worse case scenario includes a Large Ship delivery of a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb.
We thought it funny, that the ship was suddenly released, with
out ransom and returned to Iran.
