Open questions the AI reported
- Neither opened source gives the exact day in April 2007, so the report is dated to the first of the month.
- The exact spot at sea was not given beyond north of and off the port of Nador, so coordinates are for the port.
- No arrests, vessel details or court outcomes were reported.
- The Observer reports a 4.3-tonne Spanish coastguard seizure off Ibiza the same week, a separate event left out here.
