A Greek warship operating near the entrance to the Persian Gulf was approached by a small, high speed, boat. The Greeks fired warning shots and the boat turned away. A nearby flotilla of Japanese support ships were put on alert, fearing the incident indicated another al Qaeda attempt to attack ships from nations supporting the war on terror.
