Finland “finds Patriot missiles” on China-bound ship

Finland “finds Patriot missiles” on China-bound ship. Missles found in containers marked “fireworks.” Nobody seems to know where or when the missiles were put on the ship or to whom they were supposed to be going, just that they were going to Shanghai, China. Shipping company officials said the missiles could’ve been put on the ship by mistake. Or not.

  • UPDATE: Germany says shipment theirs, headed for South Korea. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/22/world/europe/finland-ship-missiles/index.html

    Still kinda fishy: "One possible explanation for this strange story is that a decision was made to supply someone with Patriot Missiles and muddle the trail. In that narrative, the ordnance would be shipped under a cover. But if perchance it were discovered by accident and the cover were blown, then the transporters would have to play their get-out-of-jail card, in this case, a phone number at the German Defense Ministry.

    Other explanations are possible, but who knows? We either live in a world of Smart Power where games are played too deep for our ken or in a universe in which more things have been sold out on heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy."
