Gaza Flotilla Ship Sabotaged by Divers


A Swedish ship due to join an upcoming Gaza-bound aid flotilla has been sabotaged in the Greek port of Piraeus. Hostile divers destroyed the propeller house and cut the propeller shaft of the vessel Juliano on Monday. Organisers of the flotilla remain defiant and said the Juliano would be ready to sail within one or two days after being repaired.

"We will not be frightened by Israel, and we are going to continue. Our friends from all around the world are with us, and we are all going to Gaza."

"It's one thing for a foreign power to press the Greek government to delay our voyage with red tape. It is quite another thing for enemy agents to operate on Greek territory."

"It is high time for the international community to put their foot down and say: Enough!"
