U.S. missiles found in ship headed for China--BBC

Here's something novel:

Finland has impounded a ship bound for China carrying 69 [U.S.] Patriot surface-to-air missiles. The missiles were discovered during a customs search on the Thor Liberty, owned by a Danish company, at the port of Kotka, about 120 kilometres from Helsinki. The BBC is reporting the missiles were found in containers marked fireworks.

Containers marked "fireworks," eh? Probably just a mis-translation.

Later a German Defense Ministry official said the missiles were part of a German delivery for South Korea under a longstanding agreement. But the ship was unquestionably docking in Shanghai first.

Still unanswered is whether the missiles were indeed marked "fireworks." Also, how in the world could any legitimate government believe it was reasonable to ship advanced anti-missile missiles anywhere via China?

One thing you can count on: If this turns out to be a sale arranged by Obozo and company, U.S. outlets will quickly lose interest in getting to the bottom of this story.
