No warning before shooting: Indian boat survivors

The Indian fishermen aboard a ship targeted by the US Navy off Dubai coast today claimed that they received no warning before being fired upon and the American action was unprovoked. 

"According to the survivors, there were no warnings given to them," Indian Ambassador to the UAE M K Lokesh told PTI. "There are many versions of the incident. We have to wait for the details to emerge," the ambassador said.

An Indian fisherman was killed and three others were wounded yesterday when a security team onboard a US Navy ship fired at their small boat off the Dubai coast. The survivors account differs from that provided by the US Navy, which said it resorted to lethal force only after issuing a series of warnings.
