I wonder what his motives were. Did he act alone? Maybe he wanted to start a war? Or maybe someone wanted to send somebody a message of some sorts? Unfortunately, too many crazies have access to guns, missiles and weapons systems. It would be a shame if a single trigger happy person some day should manage to trigger a war.

Shells town by accident? That's a pretty big oops!
And here I thought maybe Iranians took over the boat, and were pulling little Iranian pranks - please note my sarcasm.

You would think that there would be some sort of a failsafe when it comes to this sort of thing wouldn't you?
