A Bermudan ship suspected of carrying weapons and ammunition believed to be heading for Syria has docked at Turkey's Mediterranean Iskenderun port after receiving a warning from the United Nations to change its course, Reuters reported citing Turkish media.

The Turkish foreign ministry said a ship had docked at Iskenderun on Wednesday, April 18 but could not confirm whether there were weapons aboard. The report was carried by Turkey's Dogan news agency and broadcaster CNN Turk.
