Iran to sail into Gaza blockade
Israel's arch enemy Iran has threatened to send an aid ship to the blockaded Gaza Strip risking a high-seas confrontation with Israel.
Israeli commandos killed nine pro-Palestinian activists on May 31 when they intercepted a blockade-busting flotilla bound for Gaza organised in part by a Turkish group.
An Iranian television report has quoted a spokesman for the ship, Abdolraouf Adibzadeh, saying the vessel will begin its 14-day journey on Sunday.
The ship, called "Infants of Gaza" will carry 10 passengers, including five local journalists, besides the crew.
