RIYADH: The US is working closely with Saudi Arabia to ascertain what happened off the coast of the UAE on Monday when two Saudi oil tankers were attacked.

“We need to do a thorough investigation to understand what happened, why it happened, and then come up with reasonable responses short of war,” said US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia John Abizaid.

“We certainly know that the ships were damaged. They were damaged by outside action of some sort.”

Abizaid was speaking during a roundtable with selected deputy editors-in-chief of Saudi publications in Riyadh.
