Security concerns surface as UK enlists FOCs (2/6)
|
The Financial Times of London reports that crews of runaway-flag ships chartered by the United Kingdom to carry materiel to the Middle East for possible action against Iraq have not been vetted by the Ministry of Defence. According to the report, the UK government also hasn’t “placed any nationality limit on the crews.”
At least eight flag-of-convenience vessels have been chartered by the government for this operation, the Times reported.
