Russian oil tanker Volgoneft-147 stands under Oman

MUSCAT, OMAN - FEBRUARY 7: Russian oil tanker Volgoneft-147 stands under Omani naval escort 07 February 2000 in Muscat's Mina al-Fahl port where it anchored after being diverted by the US navy on suspicion of busting UN sanctions on Iraq. The ship was under US naval escort in the Gulf of Oman until it entered Omani territorial waters where its cargo will be confiscated after US tests showed it was carrying Iraqi oil. Russia is likely to seek a second expert opinion before the cargo is unloaded, the Russian ITAR-TASS news agency reported. (Photo credit should read MOHAMED MAHJOUB/AFP via Getty Images)
