According to the US Department of Transport a Japanese oil tanker that was damaged in July near the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by an al-Qaeda linked group that could carry out similar attacks in the future. A group called Abdullah Azzam Brigades said that the tanker was attacked by one of their suicide bombers. The US Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration has confirmed that the claim is valid. The advisory issued by the Department of Transportation said for ships to exercise "increased vigilance and caution" especially at night.
