An Indian sailor was allegedly beaten to death by his colleagues on board a Norwegian oil tanker in the international waters off the coast of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates following an argument over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in some European newspapers. A fight ensued among the seamen after an argument over the issue, causing the death of one sailor, a media report said.

Official sources confirmed the death of 31-year-old Sudhir Jagannathan, a native of Mumbai.

'We have been informed about the death. Our officials visited the Fujairah hospital and collected the details. The investigation is going on and once it is over, the consulate will render all the help to repatriate the body,' an Indian official told the Khaleej Times newspaper.

The entire crew on the ship hails from India. The ship was traveling from Mangalore in Karnataka to Fujairah with a chemical cargo.

Jagannathan worked as a fitter on the ship. The captain of the oil tanker has denied any foul play. He and his crew were remanded to the custody of the Fujairah police, the report added.

They must have been arguing about whether the cartoonists were "infidel dogs" or "infidel pigs".

DUBAI: An Indian sailor was allegedly beaten to death by his colleagues on board a Norwegian oil tanker in the international waters off the coast of Fujairah in the UAE following an argument over the cartoon.

A fight ensued among the seamen after an argument over the cartoon issue, causing the death of one sailor, a media report said.

Official sources confirmed the death of 31-year-old Sudheer Nonia Jagannathan, hailing from Mumbai, but refused to comment on the issue.



"We have been informed about the death. Our officials visited the Fujairah Hospital and collected the details. The investigation is going on and once it is over, the consulate will render all the help to repatriate the body," an Indian official told the 'Khaleej Times'.

The entire crew on the ship was from India. The ship was coming from New Manglore Port in Karnataka and going towards Fujairah with chemicals. The deceased worked as a fitter on the ship.

The captain of the oil tanker has denied any foul play. He and his crew members were remanded to custody of the Fujairah Police, the report added.

Let them break and burn it away happily. The KFC outlet was probably insured by some Pakistani insurance agency. The losers are the Pakistani taxpayers.

Ronald & the Colonel are certainly infidels as well.

It sounds like more cartoons more dead muzzies!

Bring in more cartoons instead...

It's funny that while the West fights the War On Terror, Muslims on the other hand are fighting the War On Cartoons..

The Muslims ARE the cartoons.

If you've heard of the Islamic Shariah Law, and the "punishments" it calls for, it runs like the script of a Warner Bros. Tom & Jerry show.

Ahmed works on his form in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics after being punked by his friend Amir into believing that the 100 meter clown push had replaced baseball this year.

I have to agree. Just too, too funny, and way too scary. Given the effect that this nonsense does to an economy, I guess they literally are trying to bring the world all the benefits that the 7th century has to offer!
