Don't worry about it -- this UAE-based company isn't going to "running" these ports anytime soon.

Variations of this story have been posted and thoroughly debunked at least a dozen times this week. The British company that the UAE-based firm is buying doesn't run these ports in the first place, so this story is really just a lot of crap.

Are you stating that the UAE company will not have any hand in securing these ports or have any knowledge of how security will be implemented? If yes, please supply some links....it would be an interesting read....

You might want to rephrase your " The British company that the UAE-based firm is buying doesn't run these ports in the first place, so this story is really just a lot of crap.," statement. These are the facts,
