Dubai, July 30

The firm managing an oil tanker attacked off Oman says two of its crew were killed in the assault.

London-based Zodiac Maritime, part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer's Zodiac Group, said on Friday that the two crew members came from the UK and Romania. It said it knew of no other injuries among the crew. The attack on Thursday targeted Liberian-flagged oil tanker Mercer Street just northeast of the Omani island of Masirah. — AP
