Gaza-Bound French Boat Defies Greek Ban 
----------------------------------------



A French boat carrying eight people as part of the Freedom Flotilla to
the Gaza Strip has left Greek waters, defying a ban imposed by Greece
under heavy pressure from Israel and the United States. The small vessel
is the first to elude Greek authorities after two Gaza-bound ships were
stopped since Friday.
