'Ship Accident' Reported Off Bahrain Coast

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - American divers and helicopters were headed Thursday to a "ship accident" in the Persian Gulf off Bahrain, the U.S. Navy said.

Cmdr. Jeff Breslau of the U.S. 5th fleet in Bahrain said he had no other details. But regional television stations reported scores of ambulances and police vehicles rushing to Bahrain's Muharraq port.

They did not identify the ship, but said there were casualties.

Al-Arabiya corespondent in Bahrain said the stricken vessel was likely to be a local ferry sailing around nearby Bahraini Gulf
