Boat fragments, TNT residue found on French tanker
US investigators who visited a blast-crippled French supertanker off Yemen found fragments of a small boat on deck and residue that tested positive for TNT, a US defense official said. But the Yemenis assured us it was spontaneous combustion or something... Crew members saw a small boat speeding toward the Limburg moments before an explosion rocked the supertanker on October 6, blowing a hole in its hull at the waterline. US investigators "found pieces and parts of a small marine vessel on deck," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "I believe that we had a couple of areas test positive for residue of TNT." Blew a hole in that denial, didn't it? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-10-10 |
