A tourist ship carrying a number of Westerners is feared to have sunk off the coast of Bahrain in the Gulf.
A hospital source said that many people were missing, while at least one body has been recovered.
The vessel was believed to have taken out around 150 tourists for a short tour of the Gulf, the hospital source added.
"Many on board were rescued," a Bahraini official said.
Ambulances could be heard rushing to the port from which the vessel had set off.
The US Navy said it was sending rescue crews to the scene.

My first thought was a dive boat, but if they're saying 150+ onboard, it's probably a small cruise ship or a tour boat.
