A Japanese ship attached to a whaling fleet has deliberately rammed and sunk the Sea Shepherd ship Ady Gil.
I was on board the ship a couple of years ago when it visited Edinburgh during it's previous incarnation as 'Earthrace'. At that time, it was attempting to break the record for circumnavigating the world in a speedboat, and was using biofuels.
Sea Shepherd then bought the boat last year and strengthened the hull, believing the trimaran would give them an edge in finding and confronting the Japanese whalers.
I'm not sure if it's too strong to call this attempted murder, but the Japanese must surely have to answer for their actions in court.
