| Exclusive: Three Israeli Airstrikes Against Sudan Since January |
| 2009-03-28 |
| BC News' Luis Martinez reports: Israel has conducted three military strikes against targets in Sudan since January in an effort to prevent what were believed to be Iranian weapons shipments from reaching Hamas in the Gaza Strip, ABC News has learned. Earlier this week, CBSNews.com was the first to report that Israel had conducted an airstrike in January against a convoy carrying weapons north into Egypt to be smuggled into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. But actually, since January, Israel has conducted a total of three military strikes against smugglers transporting what were believed to be Iranian weapons shipments destined for Gaza, a U.S. official told ABC News. The information matches recent reports from Sudanese officials of two airstrikes in the desert of eastern Sudan and the sinking of a ship in the Red Sea carrying weapons. |

| #8 RJ, I dont think the "Royal Family" has much to do do with the WOT, apart from protecting their own. Please explain. |

| #7 At a guess I'd say these are the result of Israel's very long range UAV. Range supposedly over 2,000 miles. |

| #5 Any indication of how they did the ship? The trucks were strafed at low level IIRC. |

| #2 On the flip side, having ships of your flag sunk while transporting weapons might not look too good, either. Might want to be careful about what gets attention and what doesn't. |

| #1 kinda hard too believe if it was an Iranian flagged ship they didn't raise a big stink and start rattling their swords |
