LOL

A russian trawler has taken 2 norwegian coastguard inspectors hostage after they uncoverd overfishing. They are going for international waters with the coastguard vessel following close behind.

There is a storm in the area. The russian government has been informed and are putting pressure on the fishing company to release them, but nothing so far.

I hope for their sake that they are released pretty damned quick.

So you admit that these so-called "inspectors" were actually spies? Good.

Perhaps the Russians will not imprison them for 2 years and the fine you have to pay will be lower.

The Russian Northern Fleet has now sent warships and aircraft to help the Tawler. 3 more Norwegian coastguard vessels have now joined in the persuit of the trawler.

The russians have ensured our government that they will not interfer with the Norwegian coastguards efforts to get their inspectors back.

Russian press has reported that the coastguard has fired on the trawler

Oh I hope this leads to something similar to Clancy's "Red Storm Rising". I want to see some more good war footage with stuff 'splodin'!

I just hope the two coastguardsmen come out alive.. hope the trawler winds up impounded and the captain in jail fer about 50 years.

If those Coastguardsmen are killed, I'd rather see the trawler on the bottom and her skipper with it.

Seems like something fishy is going on aboard that trawler.

Seriously though, I wonder if those two guys found something other than too many fish.
