Britons seized off Gaza

BRITISH and Irish people are among a group of 21 human rights activists “kidnapped” by the Israeli authorities, campaigners said last night. The group were on board an aid boat carrying humanitarian supplies near the Gaza coast when they were seized in international waters, according to the Free Gaza Movement.

The small boat, Spirit of Humanity, was on its way to deliver medical supplies to Gaza when it was allegedly stopped by Israeli warships yesterday morning with threats of gunfire.
