Sunk whaling boat an act of sabotage ?
Norwegian police believe the sinking of the whaling boat Willassen Senior was an act of sabotage. Activists, who call themselves Agenda 21, claim to have sunk it at a wharf in the Arctic Lofoten Islands. Norway is still hunting whales for commercial purposes.
A Norwegian whaling boat that sank last month may have been sabotaged, police said after an article was posted on the Internet.
"The boat is being raised and the indications so far in the process are that valves were intentionally opened so that sea water flooded into the boat," said Kjetil Voldset of the district police. "The police will investigate more closely what happened, and who was behind it."
"On the night of August 30th, we decided to celebrate the end of commercial whaling in Iceland by removing a large section of cooling pipe in the engine room of the Norwegian whaler Willassen Senior," the posting on Internet said.
