Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Ismail slammed Greece for seizing a ship carrying explosives to Sudan which it said were for civilian purposes. Ismail said the ship was carrying ammonium nitrates, a kind of dynamite which had been ordered by a registered Sudanese company from a Tunisian one, and that all documents concerning the shipment had been approved by his ministry. Ismail said he had ordered ministry officials to summon the Greek ambassador in Khartoum, show him all the documents and communicate to him Sudan's dipleasure for Greece's haste in ordering the ship seized before verifying the facts. His remarks were carried both by state-run Omdurman radio and SUNA news agency. Meanwhile, the official Al-Anbaa daily quoted Isam Bakry al-Khalifa, the executive manager of the Integrated Chemicals and Development Co., as saying his firm chartered the ship from the Comoro Islands. He said the ship was loaded with 655 tons of ammonium nitrates for use by cement factories, road-building companies and the mining and oil industries. Khalifa dismissed as untrue a statement by the Greeks that the destination of the shipment was unknown, saying every box on the ship carried a tag showing the name, address and telephone numbers of the company in Khartoum. On Sunday, Greek special forces seized the Baltic Sky and arrested its Ukrainian and Azerbaijani crew after finding it was carrying 680 tonnes of explosives, mainly TNT, and 8,000 detonators, the authorities in Athens said. The crew was charged with possessing and transporting explosives to third parties for outlawed activities, the semi-official Athens News Agency (ANA) reported. **PHOTO CAPTION*** A special coast guard officer stands next to the Comoros-flagged Baltic Sky cargo ship at the port of Platiyali, Greece, 235 kilometers (145 miles) northwest of Athens on Monday, June 23, 2003.
