18 crates with mines and ammunition were on board, but there are no details of exactly who the cargo was destined for.This could prove problematic for the flight crew, to say the least. Maybe they were just lucky to get stopped by the Nigerians. If they were going to Equatorial Guinea and they weren't doing so at the invitation of that nation's government... well, that would be a Bad Thing.
Foreigners involved in plots against Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema have a bad habit of getting tossed in a dark hole and left to rot.

good article by Flynn-- and no, I had not been aware of the Mann trial-- given I live in a hole-- I see it was written almost a year ago--
this is disturbing--President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who killed his uncle to seize power in 1979...
no honor amongst murderers!

re: "this is disturbing"
True, but sadly it is still far too common in much of Africa to see promotion-by-murder or by coup d'etat. (cf. much of West Africa along the Gulf of Guinea). That's just one reason why democracy promotion efforts are so important (and so damnably hard to do) in such places.
