SUEZ, Egypt, Aug 28 (Reuters) - An empty Panamanian oil tanker sank near the southern entrance of Egypt's Suez canal on Friday as it headed to dry docks for maintenance, maritime sources said.

The sources added that the sinking ship, which they identified as the "Elli", had not disrupted normal shipping through the busy trade route. (Reporting by Yusri Mohamed; Writing by Alastair Sharp; editing by Sue Thomas)
