Israel Seizes Boat Leading Gaza-Bound Flotilla 
-----------------------------------------------


 
Israel has stopped the latest effort by foreign activists to break the
blockade of the Gaza Strip by sea. A boat leading the Freedom Flotilla
III was intercepted Monday about 100 nautical miles off the Gaza coast.
Organizers say the flotilla is carrying solar panels and medical
equipment for Gaza residents. The passengers have been taken to an
Israeli port in what the Freedom Flotilla Coalition calls "an act of
kidnapping."
