Coalition naval forces have been sent to protect an oil facility in the Gulf from a possible threat. The Royal Navy said forces were helping to counter a possible seaborne threat against Saudi Arabia Ras Tanura's terminal. It is the world's biggest offshore oil facility. Industry sources said crude oil exports were continuing as normal and described the deployment as routine. The navy issued a warning in a statement to merchant shipping as a precautionary measure after receiving intelligence of a possible threat. It said coalition forces had been dispatched in support of Bahraini and Saudi units.

We're running kind of low on cover stories. What's next?
"Carrier battle group misses expressway exit, winds up in Persian Gulf."
"Missile silo covers on Ohio-class submarine open for routine maintenance."
"Marine expeditionary unit wins all-expenses paid trip to exotic destination."
"In educational project, Navy SEALs retrace steps of Alexander the Great."

That Karl Rove is a GENIUS. I look forward to the whacking of Iran in the news so I don't have to hear all the whining from the KKKos KKKids about losing the elections.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
