Was this the setup for another Sept. 11????
ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- Greek special forces, acting on a tip from an unnamed country, boarded and seized a ship loaded with 680 tonnes of explosives as it sailed through Greek territorial waters Sunday, said a spokesman from Greece's Merchant Marines Ministry.
The Greek coast guard escorted the cargo ship Baltic Sky to the commercial port of Platigialio on that country's west coast, where judicial and guard officials are investigating it, said Merchant Marines spokesman Panayotis Tsianos.
The Comoros-flagged vessel is owned by Alpha Shipping, registered in the Marshall Islands.
Greek officials would not reveal where the ship began its voyage or where it was believed to be bound. The nature of its cargo was described only as including 680 tonnes of explosives.

The words: "not", "kosher" and "quite" seem to suggest themselves. The original story appears to have been a trifle inaccurate:

And what exactly would anyone want with nearly 700 tons of ammonium nitrate: a hell of a suitcase! That would be 20-25 large lorries.
Remember the ships that had Saddam's "missing" WMD's on board? Or the Yemen-bound ship?

Greece filed felony charges against the crew of an explosives-packed ship that was seized in its waters while headed to Sudan, but Greek officials
refused to speculate about any possible terrorist link in the affair.
A Tunisian munitions company meanwhile said it had a contract to supply the explosives to a Sudanese firm for civilian use.
But the Societe Tunisienne d'Explosifs et Munitions (SOTEMU) said the vessel had changed its route and had gone instead to the Black Sea, and the ship's owner had then threatened to confiscate the cargo and re-sell it.
The Baltic Sky was carrying 680 tonnes of explosives, mainly TNT -- the "equivalent of an atomic bomb" -- and 8,000 detonators when Greek special forces seized it on Sunday, Greek Merchant Marine Minister George Anomeritis told a press conference.
The ship's crew -- five Ukrainians and two Azerbaijanis -- were arrested and charged with possessing and transporting explosives to third parties for outlawed activities, the semi-official Athens News Agency (ANA) reported.

LONDON (Reuters) - NATO naval forces, which tipped off Greece to a ship in its waters carrying 680 tons of dynamite, said on Monday they were hunting
20 "suspect" vessels that intelligence trackers say could be used by terror groups.
"It's in the order of 20: a moving list, moving target. Vessels fall off it and vessels join it," Lieutenant Commander Harvey Burwin, a spokesman for "Operation Active Endeavour," told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"Active Endeavour" is a maritime anti-terror operation that began in October 2001 and covers the Mediterranean Sea. Its activities have recently been stepped up, with suspicious vessels boarded and searched.
