Artic Sea found, crew rescued.

Russia says it has found a missing cargo vessel near the Cape Verde islands and retrieved its Russian crew.

The Arctic Sea was found at 0100 Monday (2100 GMT Sunday) 300 miles (480 km) off Cape Verde in the Atlantic Ocean, Tass news agency quoted Mr Serdyukov as telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Makes you wonder why this reported sighting near Africa was deemed a false alarm on Friday?

Not alot of details, yet.

Update:

"The crew have been moved to our anti-submarine warfare ship. They are answering questions," the minister was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying.

"All crew members are alive, and they are feeling well. They were not under armed control," he added.
