Argentine coast guard sinks Chinese fishing boat

Argentina's coast guard sank a Chinese fishing boat that attacked when authorities tried to stop it for illegal fishing in the South Atlantic, officials said today.
"The offending vessel carried out maneuvers to collide with the coast guard patrol, putting at risk not only its own crew's lives but also those of coast guard personnel. Thus the order was given to fire on different sections of the vessel, damaging it," police said in a statement.
