Irish organization behind 'Rachel Corrie': IDF hijacked ship

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), which sent the Rachel Corrie vessel to the Gaza Strip, has protested against the "hijacking" of the ship and its passengers by the Israel Defense Forces.

"For the second time in less then a week, Israeli forces stormed and hijacked an unarmed aid ship, kidnapping its passengers and forcing the ship toward Ashdod Port in southern Israel. It is not yet known whether any of the Rachel Corrie's passengers sustained injuries during the attack, but they are believed to be unharmed," the organization said in a statement. (AFP)
