OTTAWA, Feb 5: Canada’s patrol frigate HMCS Charlottetown while on patrol in Arabian Sea as part of the US-led “war on terror” rescued two Pakistani sailors adrift over the weekend, the navy said on Tuesday.
The ship’s Sea King helicopter was conducting a routine patrol as part of maritime security operations when the crew spotted the Azaan, a 240-foot barge designed to be towed by a tugboat, about 160 kilometres northeast of Muscat, Oman.—AFP
