MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A
merchant ship sank Saturday
after being attacked in the Per-
sian Gulf waters southwest of
Iran’s Kharg Island, shipping
sources in Bahrain said.

Fidelity, was carrying steel
destined for Bapdar Khomeini,
an Iranian port, the sources
said. They said it was possibly
hit by Iraqi warplanes 24 hours
before it sunk. Sources in
Bahrain and Dubai said that a
Spanish supertanker escaped an
attack at the same time.

it had hit two “big” naval
targets near Kharg.
