Danish police hunt yacht which may have carried explosives used to blow up Nord Stream

[Rimmer]

 

Danish police have searched for a yacht on the tiny Baltic Sea island of Christiansö near the Nord Stream pipeline blast sites, officials said on Thursday.

German authorities confirmed on Wednesday they had raided a ship in January that may have been used to transport explosives used to blow up the pipelines.

Soren Thiim Andersen, the island of Christiansö's top boss, said: 'The police was searching for a specific boat that had moored here in September.'

I am confused by the title, because germany have already identified, searched and even found traces of explosives.

That yacht is german and probably confiscated since January for further investigation.

 

I am also puzzled by calling those people "commando unit" which means they were in chain of military command, they were given orders for their actions. That means they were not a bunch of amateur terrorists but very much state actors which were singled out as scapegoats, but not likely to be named and prosecuted.

That article is just another cover up for the real perpetrators - very few, to non, details, with just attention grabbing title

There are, as you state, reasons to be confused over facts given the reporting above.

 

There isn’t however any credible evidence to back your assertion that this is ‘a cover up for for the real perpetrators’.

I think this may be in reference to a second boat, as the other one that has already been searched by German authorities and named as Andromeda was not large enough to carry all the explosives needed although explosive remnants were found on it.

 

“Was there was a second boat and did somebody transport the explosive from somewhere else?” Mölling asked. “So that’s why I think there are pieces of the puzzle missing for the moment.”

 

Some further details in this article on why a second boat would be needed:

 

The Spiegel quotes a harbour master in Rügen as saying the group that hired the Andromeda were dressed like normal sailors, and that he saw them carrying shopping bags of provisions to the boat, speaking a language that “sounded Polish or Czech to him”. He said there were several men and a woman.

so now they are not ukrainians or russians, but poles or czechs.

How many boats were used?

How many more people were involved on the second boat?

Each pipe was mined with up to 2 bombs (the 3 blown pipes were taken by 4 explosions). That means up to 8 devices (including un-exploded on pipe B of nordstream2) by minimum 500kg of TNT each that is 4 tons. How long would it take for 2 divers to move that much TNT to 8 locations?

The plot thickens.

Would now the CIA decoy fall apart?

They were so sure that they were ukrainians or russians and that they were not americans or british. Why they had even to mention that they were not Anglo-Saxons?

Provide a credible link that has evidence there was a CIA plot.

 

Not true, they never said they were sure it was Ukrainians or Russians, they were forged passports and the only mention was it may be a pro Ukrainian group.

 

Along with warning against reaching premature conclusions as the investigation is not yet complete.

That’s not a rabbit hole you’ve gone down, it’s a warren
