Story of the Week

M.Star: 'claimed by Abdullah Azzam Brigades' State terror ruled out in blast AN MOL VLCC was attacked last week not by state-sponsored commandos but by a rogue terrorist group, a US intelligence source close to the investigation told Fairplay today.
Confusion had surrounded what caused damage to the Mitsui OSK Lines tanker M. Star in the Strait of Hormuz, with early reports divided as to whether a collision, explosion, freak wave or floating container dented its hull directly above the waterline.
A United Arab Emirates coastguards spokesman also confirmed to the government-run WAM news agency today that the blast had been a ?terrorist attack? using a bomb boat, IHS Global Insight reported today.
?The investigation and examination conducted by special teams have shown the tanker was attacked with explosives, which were loaded on a boat that approached the ship,? the spokesman said.
UAE explosives experts ? found a dent on the starboard side above the water line and remains of homemade explosives on the hull," he said.
Fairplay's US intelligence source would not specify what evidence had ruled out a government role in the attack. The ship reportedly sailed from the UAE today after repairs.
IHS Global Insight commented: ?The attack was claimed on 3 August by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which said a suicide bomber identified as Ayyub al-Tayshan attacked the tanker.
It also said that it delayed claiming the attack ?until our heroes returned safely to their bases?, a statement that would apparently appear to undermine its claim that a suicide bomber was involved - although it may indicate that Tayshan (if involved) had help in preparing the attack.?

Indeed...
And at a considerable distance (>1000NM) off the coast of Somalia!
So there is a danger for ships doing offshore passage from the area of Somalia.
