correspondent, frank gardner. well, this is quite a serious escalation and certainly, it doesn t look like piracy. an investigation was begun fairly soon afterwards. it took place late in the afternoon yesterday about 150 nautical miles that s about 250, roughly, kilometres north east of the omani port. and what israeli television is saying, quoting an israeli official, was that it was attacked by an explosive drone. now, usually in piracy attacks, it s very unusual for anybody to be killed. piracy attacks are quite rare now because most of the ships either have escorts or they have armed guards on board, so they are nothing like the level that they were at ten years ago. so the suspicion is that this is some kind of state backed terrorism, and certainly the israeli media is pointing the finger at iran and in the past, iran has denied any part in such attacks.
