A FORMER Royal Navy officer today warned it 'could be terrorists next' and called for tougher border security after stowaways stormed an oil tanker off the Isle of Wight coast.
Seven violent stowaways were detained in just minutes by Special Boat Service commandos in a dramatic raid on the 42,000-tonne tanker last night.
