Larnaca Port Manager Pampis Vassiliou said the Togo-flagged "Tali" carrying about 60 tons of medicine and food as well as eight activists and journalists left Cyprus for Gaza Wednesday morning after an overnight stopover at the port.
Meanwhile, the Iranian chartered (Cypriot flagged) aid ship the Monchegorskthat (pictured) was boarded by the US Navy last week has been searched by Cypriot port authorities and they have sent a report to the UN. The US claimed it had found some weapons on the vessel but was unable to confiscate them 'for legal reasons' - not that legal niceties have ever got in the way of Washington's 'war on terror' before.

Some reports say the US military boarded the Cyprus-flagged Monchegorsk cargo ship in the Red Sea last month, but could not legally detain it or seize its cargo.
