UAE confirms terror link to Hormuz tanker attack

摘要

Explosives experts in the United Arab Emirates confirmed a Japanese-owned oil tanker steaming through the Strait of Hormuz last week came under a terrorist attack. UAE explosives experts who collected and examined samples found a dent on the starboard side above the water line and remains of home-made explosives on the hull, according to a statement released by the Arab nation's news agency WAM. The M Star, owned by Mitsui OSK, was damaged on July 28 as it traveled through the strait on its way to the port of Chiba near Tokyo. One crew member was slightly injured.
