Gaza activists: Sabotage damages flotilla ship
(AP)ATHENS, Greece - Pro-Palestinian activists who plan to breach Israel's sea blockade of the Gaza Strip said Tuesday that they had increased security around their docked flotilla after an alleged act of sabotage on one of the vessels in a Greek port.
In a statement, Scandinavian organizers said "hostile divers" had cut the propeller shaft of the "Juliano," a ship shared by Swedish, Norwegian and Greek activists. They said the damage can be repaired and that it will not affect plans to sail for the Palestinian territory toward the end of the week.
Even so, the 10-ship flotilla has already been delayed, beset by administrative problems with Greek port authorities that activists blame on Israeli diplomatic pressure. Greece's financial crisis raised the prospect of further complications, with protesters blockading the port of Piraeus as part of a 48-hour general strike that began Tuesday.
"We have increased alert on all the ships. We are having a 24/7 vigil," said Dimitris Plionis, a flotilla representative. He speculated that the alleged sabotage was carried out by "highly trained" individuals, possibly with a military or intelligence background, though he was not specific about the possible culprits.

Norwegian delegation leader Torstein Dahle said in a statement that the incident shows "someone is willing to go to great lengths to stop the flotilla from sailing."
Flotilla organizers said the "Juliano" had been taken out of the water and was in Perama, on the outskirts of Piraeus port near Athens.

Israel warns it will stop any attempt to break the sea blockade of Gaza, saying its measures prevent weapons from reaching Iran-backed Hamas militants who violently seized control in 2007. Last year, nine activists on a Turkish aid vessel died in a botched Israeli raid on a similar flotilla, with each side accusing the other of starting the violence.
Citing intelligence reports, Israeli military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich warned that the new flotilla is carrying sulfuric acid for use against Israeli soldiers if they try to board the boats. She said the navy has trained for the past year to deal with various scenarios and has developed "soft power tactics" to cope with flotilla passengers without engaging in physical contact with them.
