Gaza activists leave stranded ship

Ten aid workers and seven Libyan officials left stranded on board a ship hired to carry aid from Libya to the Middle East disembarked Sunday and are waiting for their travel documents in order to leave Greece, a representative of a pro-Palestinian aid group says.

The captain of the ship, Strofades IV, and an official from the ship-owning company are being held overnight and face abduction charges, judicial authorities said Sunday. They will appear before an examining magistrate Monday. (AP)
