        Chinese Fisherman Killed in Clash with South Korean Coast Guard

   by VOA News

   South Korea's coast guard has shot and killed a Chinese fisherman after
   officials say he resisted arrest while fishing illegally in South
   Korean waters.

   Hospital officials say the 45-year-old fisherman died Friday shortly
   after being airlifted to a hospital in the southwestern South Korean
   town of Mokpo.

   It is not clear whether others were wounded in the incident, which
   occurred in the Yellow Sea that separates the two countries, about 130
   kilometers from the South Korean island of Wangdeung.

   Clashes between Chinese fishermen and the South Korean coast guard are
   not unusual and have strained relations in the past.

   China has not responded to the latest incident. Following a similar
   incident two years ago, Beijing slammed Seoul for what China said was
   South Korea's "violent law enforcement."
