Original warning text

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.
