Israel Navy intercepts weapons-laden cargo ship off Israeli coast

Tel Aviv - The Israeli Navy overpowered a cargo ship with weaponry and ammunition hidden on board overnight, the military said Wednesday. The Antigua-flagged ship was stopped some 160 kilometres off the Israeli coast, military spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Avital Leibowitz told the German Press Agency dpa.

She said the weapons and ammunition were discovered hidden in "civilian containers" when the navy carried out a security check of the ship.
