'Guns may have been thrown overboard' By JPOST.COM STAFF 06/04/2010 12:43 Gun-sights, cartridges and coded plans found on 'Marmara.' Firearms may have been thrown overboard by passengers of the Mavi Marmara, Israel Radio reported Friday, citing IDF sources. According to the report, gun-sights and rifle cartridges not fitting IDF weapons were discovered upon inspection of the ship, leading defense officials to believe that there may have been weapons on board when the ship set out from Turkey aside from the knifes, rocks and slingshots found in the search. Coded messages apparently alluding to scenarios of soldier-kidnapping and soldier fatalities were also found on board the ship. RELATED: IDF: Mercenaries to blame for violence 'We had no choice, they were coming at us with murder in their eyes' Analysis: Why did the IDF underestimate violence of those it called 'terrorists' Some of those aboard the ship recorded messages saying they intended to become shahids , martyrs for the cause of war against infidels. A Reuters report appeared to corroborate on Friday claims of an attempt to kidnap a soldier during the raid of the ship. Andre Abu Khalil, a Lebanese cameraman for Al-Jazeera TV who was aboard the Mavi Marmara, told Reuters that some 20 Turkish men had tried to prevent the boarding commandos from reaching the wheelhouse and commandeering the ship. Using slingshots, metal pipes and bats they initially succeeded in wounding and overpowering four Israeli soldiers and dragging them below the deck. After standoff lasting approximately ten minutes, the Israelis opened fire, the man said. A makeshift hostage negotiation took place aboard the ship, according to the cameraman. One activist used a megaphone to tell the commandos the four captive soldiers were well and would be released if they provided medical help for the wounded passengers. An Israeli Arab MK - presumably Haneen Zuabi - was said to have mediated in the negotiations, and the soldiers acquiesced. The wounded were subsequently brought up to the top deck to be airlifted off the ship.

Peaceful activists...riiiight.
For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.
I wager this won't be posted..you know where! I had a feeling there was more to this story than the original stated.
Jimmy Hoffa's body MAY have been thrown overboard too... Jerusalem Post (laughing)

So what if Goldi said this? This is your tag?
Goldi-Lox, War, Fred Mertz: Go back to liberty post where you belong.
She's a frigging racist and an anti-Christian bitch. Also, she's losing her mind.
Maybe you should ask Goldi to let you back into the club.
You still a member there?

I was as of yesterday, though my participation is minimal. There are a handful of posters I consider friends over the years, but their numbers diminish annually...thanks to the uneven moderating hand of Goldi.
Uneven is a very polite way of describing it. If you view it as your previous post states...why belong? Why even hit it at all? Invite whoever you like there...over here.

I have on several occasions. I will continue to do so as you suggest...I'll have to be discreet otherwise I could be banned for poaching...
Well, til the inevitable banning, its just 'enabling' Fred. But I understand your viewpoint.
