Hijackers of Iranian boat call for fuel in Casablanca

August 18, 1981

A hijacked Iranian missile patrol boat arrived at the Moroccan port of Casablanca and sailed off again after the hijackers forced harbor authorities to provide fuel, food, and water, Moroccan sources said Monday. The report was the first news of the missile boat Tabarzin since it disappeared after hijackers, apparently Iranians opposing the present government in Tehran, seized it off southern Spain last Thursday.
