Ship Missing in Red Sea - 1,400 on board

An Egyptian passenger ship said to be carrying more than 1,400 people has disappeared in the Red Sea off the Saudi coast, Egyptian maritime officials say. Helicopters have spotted bodies floating near where the "Salaam 98" was last seen on radar screens, maritime officials told The Associated Press. Lifeboats have also been spotted. The ship left Dubah, western Saudi Arabia, en route to Egypt's southern port of Safaga, a spokesman for the El Islam Maritime Transport Co. told CNN.

Obviously a terrorist attack and reason to invade Iran tomorrow...

 

Actaully if it is accurate - and the ship went down (for whatever reason) it's quite a tragedy, 1400 people may have died.
