"Three boats explode, one after being boarded by coalition personnel, near tankers at an Iraqi oil terminal."

Was watching the draft, on a football BBS when one of our guys in the area said he had to leave early...mentioned briefly that he was in Kuwait I believe, and that a Japanese ship was reporting being under attack. Said he had to bail fast, "radios were going crazy", then a few minutes later the discussion was erased....then I see the above on CNN breaking news...THEN, that too ceases to exist on their site within minutes?!

Kind of strange situation when you're talking to a guy live AND a major news site, and it's all OMG, OMG...shit is hitting the fan.....oh, never mind.

There's a fuckload of buzz but it's not clear yet, I can't get a clean feed at the moment, if I get something hard before it hits public I'll post.

suicide attack on the oil terminal, possibly 3 boats, no idea how many gone or what damage yet, something is being supressed.
