Israel says it seized arms ship
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli defense officials say a ship the navy has confiscated in waters off Cyprus was carrying more than 60 tons of weapons.

They say the cargo included missiles, antitank weapons and mortars. The officials said the weapons were coming from Iran and were bound for Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.
The pre-dawn seizure early Wednesday was a rare interception of a suspected arms shipment by Israel, which has long accused Iran of arming its enemies. Israel offered no evidence to support its claim that the weapons were meant for Hezbollah.
