Dubai police: US navy ship Rappahannock did not warn Indian fishermen

DUBAI: Dubai’s police chief has rejected US claims that a navy ship warned Indian fishermen to move away from it before firing and killing one of them after they failed to heed the order, media reported on Thursday. The fisherman died and three others were wounded on Monday when the ship opened fire on their vessel near the port of Jebel Ali off Dubai in the tense waters of the southern Gulf. The “Indian fishermen were not warned to move away by the US Navy,” General Dahi Khalfan said, according to Khaleej Times daily.

“The crew … told the Dubai police that they did not move towards the ship and instead attempted to avoid it.” “According to our findings and testimonies of the injured, I believe that they told the truth,” the daily quoted Khalfan as saying. On Tuesday, India urged the UAE to investigate the shooting.
