According to New Zealand newspaper the New Zealand Herald, the “attack” on the M. Star supertanker in the straight of Hormuz is claimed by a group known Abdullah Azzam Brigades on Wednesday.
The newspaper quoted the group as saying it had carried
out a suicide attack against the tanker to avenge the plunder of Muslim wealth and to destabilise international markets.
The statement was issued by al-Qaida’s communications wing, the al-Fajr Media Centre and posted on militant websites.
