Gaza aid shipment off course after row with captain

Workers trying to take aid by sea from Libya to Gaza are being held by the ship's captain against their will along with Libyan police officers, and heading for Greece, their charity and the Libyan coast guard said.

In an apparent row over money, the captain of the Greek-managed ship Strofades IV set off from the Libyan port of Derna while the vessel was still tied up, snapping mooring ropes and bumping into the harbor wall. (Reuters)
