I've Been Thinking:

Last Friday Cypriot authorities stopped a ship sailing under a Cypriot flag.

The ship was suspected of violating the UN embargo on arms to Hamas.
Yesterday, five days later the ship was finally permitted to leave Cyprus and sail for anywhere - only without its cargo.

The cargo has been unloaded and brought to a military base. It was material that can be used to make weapons. One source says the material included shell casings for tank shells.

Raids of this type are of critical importance in shutting down terror supply networks around the world. Even more important than stopping the arms shipment is following the money trail. That is how authorities can shut down the entire system.

The trail will, of course, inevitably lead to Iran.
But how does it get from one place to the other and finally land on a ship headed to Gaza.
The answer lies at the end of the money trail.
