UPDATE: David Pryce-Jones doesn’t believe it either.
This is an interesting story although pretty hard to believe. A group of Somali pirates hijack an Iranian ship before it enters the Suez Canal. They force it back to a small Somali port and hold it for ransom. They force open cargo containers, which are found to contain only sand. Then 16 pirates die mysteriously in the next few weeks.
Within a period of three days, those pirates who had boarded the ship and opened the cargo container with its gritty sand-like contents, all developed strange health complications, to include serious skin burns and loss of hair. And within two weeks, sixteen of the pirates subsequently died, either on the ship or on shore… …At this writing, the MV Iran Deyanat is at anchor, watched closely by American, French and Russian naval units.
[Russian sources claim she] was an enormous floating dirty bomb, intended to detonate after exiting the Suez Canal at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and in proximity to the coastal cities of Israel. The entire cargo of radioactive sand, obtained by Iran from China (the latter buys desperately needed oil from the former) and sealed in containers which, when the charges on the ship are set off after the crew took to the boats, will be blasted high into the air where prevailing winds will push the highly dangerous and radioactive cloud ashore
Now what ?
