Israel seizes Gaza flotilla flagship

Late Sunday night, Israeli forces seized the siege-busting Gaza-bound Marianne.
 
Naval commandos from the Israeli force's Shayetet 13 unit searched the boat after the interception. According to military sources, the ship is expected to dock in Ashdod within the next 12 to 24 hours, depending on weather and sea conditions.
 
After arriving in Ashdod, the passengers will be interrogated before being escorted to Ben-Gurion Airport and flown out of Israel.
 
The Swedish boat, which on Sunday afternoon was 150 nautical miles from the Gaza Coast, is carrying 20 activists, among them former Tunisian president Moncef Marzouki.
