A ship that was reportedly hijacked in the English Channel was carrying advanced Russian anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, the Sunday Times quoted sources in Russia and Israel as saying.
The sources also said Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, tracked the vessel and later tipped off the Russian government that its cargo had been sold by former military officers linked to the underworld, according to the British paper.
The Arctic Sea, which left Finland on July 21 with 15 Russian crew members and a cargo of timber, failed to arrive in Algeria on Aug. 4 as scheduled. The ship's signal had disappeared in the Atlantic in late July.
