Voitenko, however, has repeatedly cast doubt on the official version of events. The main source of information on the hijacking in the early days of the crisis, he has hinted that the ship may have been carrying a secret shipment of weapons, or, he suggested, "something much more expensive and dangerous".Sounding distinctly frightened, Voitenko today said he did not know the identity of his mystery caller. But he hinted that the man who spoke with a "chilling voice" may have represented the FSB.

I thought this wasn´t posted yet, than there it is. I was thinking that something like this will eventualy come. Russian reporters have really a hard life after Putin entered politics. But I want to discuss what was really the cause of terrorizing him, was he up to find something ...
I personally think it has something to do with that thing what made the rings in ice in the Bajkal lake, where also Putin went down in a submarine, after what he said that he saw something "wonderfull", I don´t know, it´s my idea only.

I guess his 15 minutes weren't enough. Those articles which were full of words such as 'may' 'could've' 'might' etc. Now he has to run for his life to get more attention.

Also a good point.

Wow, this guy sure is credible with his hints and suggestions of mysterious missiles. No wonder he got a phone call, maybe he should keep his mouth shut if he has nothing fair to say. And really, the mysterious phone caller had a deep voice so he must be FSB, right?

I guess this news story might be good enough for the Western media who prefer descriptive stories as opposed to objective facts.
