Port Sultan Qaboos on Local News

I was watching my local news this morning (in America), not really paying attention, then looked up to see a sign in Arabic and English. It was for Port Sultan Qaboos. The story was about the attempted hijacking of M/S Nautica, which is in port in Muttrah now. The story included some views of the port and the hills between Muttrah and Muscat. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the ignorants who might misidentify the country with the hijacking) Oman was not mentioned in the story or even in the text around the images.

It was a local Fox Channel in California. You might be able to catch it on your local Fox affiliate, or FoxNews if you can stomach to watch it long enough to see the clip.

That should have said 'It's an ARTICLE at New Scientist'.
