   Coalition forces are searching for two iraqi maritime vessels that may be affiliated with efforts to mine…

   1. COALITION FORCES ARE SEARCHING FOR TWO IRAQI
      MARITIME VESSELS THAT MAY BE AFFILIATED WITH
      EFFORTS TO MINE THE IRAQI WATERWAYS. UNIDENTIFIED
      SERVICE VESSEL AL SHOROOK AND TUG AL FATEH AL MOBEEN
      ARE STILL NOT LOCATED AND COULD BE OPERATING
      ANYWHERE IN THE PERSIAN GULF. THERE IS THE
      POSSIBILITY THEY WILL BE TOWING A BARGE, WHICH CAN
      BE USED TO DEPLOY MINES. A BARGE LOADED WITH A LARGE
      NUMBER OF MINES AND MODIFIED TO DEPLOY THEM WAS
      RECENTLY CAPTURED IN THE KHOR ABD ALLAH WATERWAY.
   2. COALITION MARITIME FORCES CONTINUE THEIR OPERATIONS
      THROUGHOUT THE GULF AND ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THE
      IRAQI WATERWAYS REMAIN CLEAR OF MINES. THESE
      WATERWAYS ARE VITAL TO SHIPPING. MINING WILL ONLY
      HURT INNOCENT MERCHANTS AND ULTIMATELY THE PROSPERITY
      OF IRAQ. IT IS IN ALL SHIPPING INTERESTS TO DO THEIR
      PART TO KEEP THESE WATERWAYS OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN
      ORDER TO FACILITATE THE RE-OPENING OF IRAQI PORTS AND
      SPEED THE RECOVERY OF THE IRAQI ECONOMY. IN ORDER TO
      ENSURE SAFE MERCHANT VESSEL PASSAGE THROUGH THE
      PERSIAN GULF, ALL VESSELS ARE REQUESTED TO CONTACT
      MARLO IF THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE AL SHOROOK,
      AL FATEH AL MOBEEN OR ANY OTHER VESSEL OPERATING
      IN A SUSPICIOUS MANNER.
