("London and Washington ratcheted up diplomatic pressure to prevent any
country in the region from allowing the delivery of the arms to Mugabe")
My comment:
(a) Zim in the title refers to Zimbabwe.
(b) Secret Intelligence Service
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Intelligence_Service
(It is frequently referred to in the mass media and popular parlance by the
name MI6, a name used as a flag of convenience during the Second World War
when it was known by many names. The mere existence of MI6 was not
officially acknowledged in public until 1994)
The fictional character James Bond of 007 fame is supposedly of MI6.
(c) An Yue Jiang 安岳江, operated by the state-run shipping firm COSCO. en.

(d) anechoic (adj; First Known Use 1946): "free from echoes and
reverberations " www.m-w.com
