Sabotage, Part 3

It's especially hard to figure out what is true in web postings. For example, here are some of the claims made by the flotilla people:
  • the hotel room in which a French television crew had placed their equipment was broken into. Equipment was damaged and viruses loaded onto their computer.
  • Greek police prevented one of the ships from refueling because its papers were not in order.
  • the captain of one of the ships was beaten by a group of 10 people at 3 in the morning.
  • cellphones have been stolen.
  • one passport has disappeared.
Truth? It does sound like organized actions to prevent the flotilla from sailing. The natural suspect is Israel as a confrontation on the sea would not be good PR for it.
