Irish navy seizes Soviet trawler captain jailed in Cork harbor
Irish naval authorities escorted a giant Soviet trawler into Cork harbor and jailed its captain after armed troops boarded the ship. An Army spokesman said the trawler would be handed to police to face charges of fishing illegally within Ireland’s 12 mile limit. The government vows no nonsense against poaching to protect native fishermen. Scientists evaluating a Viking Mars soil test say results lessen the chance of Martian microorganisms, noting the experiment was preliminary and not conclusive.
