Up to 34 American sailors are believed to be onboard the ship, Al Arabiya reported.

| The ship had no U.S. citizens aboard, the spokesman said, contradicting earlier reports which said there were 34 U.S. sailors on board. | |

The original reports were incorrect, it's not even a U.S. cargo ship. That's the great thing thing about news outlets in this instant info age, they try to get "news" out as quick as possible and it's usually wrong. | |

| We still have a warship headed to the scene. We have no dog in that hunt. Are we just going to steam there and puff out our proverbial chests?
That would be par for the course. Nothing decisive = weakness in Islamic terms.
