DUBAI (Reuters) - International bonds issued by Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states weakened on Thursday after two tankers were hit in suspected attacks in the Gulf of Oman, a month after a similar incident in which four tankers in the region were struck.

Regional debt markets did not react to the May attacks - when oil tankers were hit off the Fujairah emirate, one of the world's largest bunkering hubs - but their weakness on Thursday showed the latest incident was making investors jittery.
