Greece in November 2009 confiscated a storage vessel discovered on a Liberia-flagged ship bound for Syria. The container was revealed to be filled with large quantities of ampules carrying powdered or liquid reagents, informed insiders said. The type of reagents found can be employed to detect materials moving in the air following a chemical arms strike, according to the insiders.
