Iraq
US warship 'catches fire in Persian Gulf'
2008-10-20
Consider the source, but thought I'd post none the less...
A vessel belonging to the US Navy has reportedly caught fire in the northern Persian Gulf near the Iraqi port cities of Al-Bakr and al-Amaya.

Informed military sources said on Monday that the UN Navy had secretly moved the vessel to the coasts of Kuwait after the fire broke out, Iran's Arabic-language TV channel Al-Alam reported. The sources did not rule out the possibility that a blast had started the fire on the vessel that was said to be "one of the four US warships in the region," the report added.

The US military has not yet commented on the report.

I'll bet the same sources did not rule out the possibility the fire was actually a reflection caused by the desert sun glinting off the leprechauns pot-o-gold, which was being unloaded by crane for delivery to the zionist paymasters secret offices in downtown Umm O'Qasr, or something like that.

#2  "US Navy" or "UN Navy"? Don't think PRESS TV really knows the difference.

I'd expect 'coal fired boilers' in the UN version, though.
