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.
