Aid Flotilla Blocked in Greece

Israel claimed a diplomatic victory this week by enlisting the aid of the Greek governement in blocking an aid flotilla planning to set sail from Greece to the Gaza Strip. Greece has banned all Gaza bound ships from leaving port. After the American boat to Gaza tried to leave Greece last week, it was escorted back to port by Greek coastguard, who then arrested the boat's captain. 11 vessels were ordered not to sail until the end of this week.

KBOO's Ren Green has more with the story.
