The roving barge at Galle Fort
Repost This ArticleOn the loose since 12th May 2007, I spotted this Iranian barge banging against the Galle Fort ramparts just opposite the Fort Dew guest-house, adjacent to the Buddhist Temple, over the weekend. Clearly, the thing keeps shifting with the tide since it’s moved on from where is was spotted last year.
Cerno also has a picture of it here.
In a recent meeting with the President of Sri Lanka, Iran’s minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Dr.Daawood Danesh Jafarji has assured Sri Lanka of its continued support in the development of the island’s economic social and cultural activities.
One wonders if the destruction of Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage by Iranian property was also discussed at these meetings.
Has security in Galle checked this barge in the waters near Fort to make sure that this is not a trojan horse. It would make for an ideal hiding place from which to launch an attack on Galle.

Clearly you haven’t seen the barge.
