Coastguard killed by Chinese fisherman

 A member of the Korea Coast Guard (KCG) was stabbed to death by a Chinese fisherman illegally operating in South Korean waters early Monday morning, with another officer sustaining critical injuries.

 The Incheon Coast Guard said it spotted a 200-ton Chinese boat fishing illegally in waters 85 kilometers southwest of Socheong Island near the maritime border with North Korea in the West Sea at around 5:30 a.m. Monday.

 Against this backdrop, the KCG has strengthened a clampdown on illegal fishing by Chinese boats to preserve marine resources in Korean waters and protect the interest of local fishermen. By Lee Hyo-sik The Korea Times Dec,12,2011 from
