‘I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,’ says minister.

BRUSSELS — As the investigation into damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure continues, Finland’s Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz said it’s hard to believe sabotage to the undersea gas pipeline was accidental — or that it happened without Beijing’s knowledge.

“I’m not the sea captain. But I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,” Adlercreutz said in an interview Thursday in Brussels. “I think everything indicates that it was intentional. But of course, so far, nobody has admitted to it.”

    This leaves out very significant details from the story, like this part for instance:
    “The anchor — which weighs 6,000 kilograms — was retrieved a few meters from the site of the damage.”
