THE TERRORISTS AREN'T ON BOARD, THEY'RE THE BOARDERS:

Netanyahu: Israel will not allow flotilla to breach Gaza naval blockade (Anshel Pfeffer, Danna Harman and Barak Ravid, 6/27/11, Ha'aretz)

Israel will not allow any ships to breach its blockade of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his inner cabinet yesterday, during a discussion of the Gaza-bound flotilla expected to set sail tomorrow.

Security officials and Foreign Ministry representatives informed the cabinet that Israel has no information indicating that terrorists or anyone affiliated with a terror group is planning to take part in the flotilla, said a government source. Nonetheless, there may be clashes between Israeli forces and some Arab activists aboard the ships.
