What secrets lie on board?

Moscow (Kremlin Secret Files) The Russian government has admitted that the hijacked ship 'The Arctic Sea' may not have been carrying just timber. There has been increasing speculation as to what-or who-was on board the vessel. FSB spokesman Houdyanicka Bolokov said "We want to search this ship very carefully. We want to find only timber on board. It is possible that the ship was being used for other purposes, which I will not go into now."

When the ship was last sighted there was a shock. Sitting on deck playing cards were Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Lord Lucan, Glen Miller, Jeff Buckley and Michael Jackson. Shergar was nearby. A Royal Navy frigate passed alongside. Captain Eric Pilchard said "I asked Lord Lucan if he had noticed anything unusual. He replied that apart from the four aces Buddy Holly had, there was nothing too odd. So we let them go."

Vladimir Putin is certain to provide a clear and open report into their findings. When he does he will be riding Shergar and singing Suspicious Minds.
