Canadians board tanker in Arabian Sea
A Canadian warship deployed as part of the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan seized a tanker in the Arabian Sea suspected of smuggling oil from Iraq in violation of United Nations sanctions. HMCS Vancouver began tracking the suspect vessel in the Persian Gulf on Jan. 31, and its crew boarded it three days later in international waters near the Iran-Pakistan border.
