Greek officials intercepted a ship carrying weapons, including 5,000 shotguns, off Crete heading to the Islamic State of Libya.
The AP reported:
A Greek coast guard special unit raided a Bolivian-flagged freighter early Tuesday off the southern island of Crete and found a shipment of undeclared weapons apparently headed for Libya.
The coast guard identified the cargo vessel as the Haddad 1, which sailed from the Turkish port of Iskenderun on Aug. 29 and was headed for Libya’s western harbor of Misrata.
It said in an announcement that the ship “was carrying arms without legal documentation.” It wasn’t initially clear what kind of armaments the vessel had on board.
The United Nations has imposed an embargo on weapons shipments to Libya. The country is divided between an elected parliament and government based in the eastern port of Tobruk, and an Islamist militia-backed government in the capital Tripoli — with militants from the Islamic State group also exploiting the chaos.
According to reports in Greece the shipment was heading to ISIS in Libya.
According to Conservative Papers the Islamic State promised late last year to convert Europe to radical Islam.
“The Europeans need to know that when we come, it will not be in a nice way. It will be with our weapons. Those who do not convert to Islam or pay the Islamic tax will be killed.”
