Sunni-Shia tensions, the presence of Islamist terrorists despite the authorities' best efforts, and the country's clear practical support for the US military during the Iraq War significantly increase the risk of violent disorder, possibly against ports or foreign shipping |

Pirates and terrorists have mounted occasional attacks against ships and installations offshore, despite the heavy multi-national military presence. The sheer number of insurgents seeking to attack 'Western' assets or elements of the oil export infrastructure serve to keep the threat high. |

In the current state of semi-way with Lebanese Hezbollah, Israeli ports on the Mediterranean coast are exceptionally dangerous places which ships of all types would be well advised to avoid. For some time the Lloyds insurance market's War Risks Committee has designated Israel as a 'listed area' for Hull, War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils. |

After a period of surprising political stability following the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon, the impact of the July 2006 kidnapping of Israeli soldiers by Lebanese Hezbollah has thrown the country into turmoil. The Israeli response - bombing of much of Lebanon's infrastructure, and establishing a Naval blockade of ports - is designed to send a high-impact immediate political message. The threat is therefore currently very high. Even before the current crisis, the Lloyds insurance market's War Risks Committee had designated Lebanon a 'listed area' for Hull, War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils |

Whilst specific countries in the Middle East are regarded as being at heightened risk, Underwriters have not generally sought to charge additional premiums in respect of shipments to or from Oman. However, should the situation in the country or its neighbours change dramatically, then it could have an adverse effect on Underwriters' position. |

The country's support for the US-led forces in the Gulf War and the presence of a certain number of Islamist terrorists able to operate within its borders serve to keep the threat of a terrorist attack against foreign assets uncomfortably high. |

The west coast (Hijaz) contains the historical cradle of Islam, and many people resent a foreign presence in coastal towns. Many Islamist terrorists are still at large despite Government efforts, and Iraq is providing 'combat experience' and fuelling their zeal. On the east coast there is also a threat of violent disorder arising from tensions with the minority Shia community |
