(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 11 - An Italian fishing boat based in the
Sicilian port of Mazara del Vallo came under attack from a
Turkish vessel in international waters some 27 miles off the
Turkish coast, the owner told ANSA on Tuesday.
The boat came under a barrage of rocks and other objects, said
the owner, Luciano Giacalone, who went to the Italian
authorities to report the attack after being in contact with the
captain
The incident comes after the captain of another Italian fishing
boat was injured last week when the vessel came under fire from
the Libyan coast guard while in the southern Mediterranean.
"The European Union must tell us once and for all where we
should go and fish," Giacalone said.
"We are ruined". (ANSA).
