The damn things are everywhere...wake up world. Remains of explosives found on hull of damaged Japanese supertanker By Mail Foreign Service Last updated 6th August 2010 dailymail.co.uk Investigators probing an explosion on a Japanese supertanker near the Strait of Hormuz have found the remains of homemade explosives on board. The crew of the 1092ft-long M.Star reported an explosion shortly after midnight last Wednesday which injured one sailor, but failed to cause an oil spill or disrupt shipping in the strategic waterway. Specialist teams have now confirmed that the tanker had been the subject of a terrorist attack. Obscure militant group Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which has links with al Qaeda, has claimed responsibility for the blast. Blast: Investigators have found traces of home-made explosives on the hull of the Japanese supertanker M Star United Arab Emirates state news agency WAM, quoting an unidentified coastguard source, said: 'An examination carried out by specialised teams has confirmed that the tanker had been the subject of a terrorist attack. 'UAE explosives experts who collected and examined samples found a dent on the starboard side above the water line and remains of home-made explosives on the hull.' Bordered by Iran, Oman and the UAE, the narrow Strait of Hormuz handles 40 per cent of the world's seaborne oil and is patrolled by U.S. and other warships. The Abdullah Azzam Brigades said on Wednesday one of its suicide bombers attacked the tanker to avenge the plunder of Muslim wealth.
