Icelandic coast guard shells British trawler in cod war flare
The Icelandic coast guard fired on the British trawler Everton during a dispute over offshore fishing waters near Reykjavik.

The incident marked the gravest clash to date in the cod war, with Britain denying Iceland's 50 mile limit and deploying Royal Navy vessels to protect British boats.
