DAKAR: Five Mauritanians were missing after two fishing boats collided off the coast of the west African country, the Mauritanian coast guard and Spanish maritime rescue service said on Saturday.
Twenty-one people, including three Spaniards, were saved from the Atlantic waves after the crash between the Gambia-flagged “Grey Whale” and the Mauritanian “Tafra 3” ship, a Mauritanian coast guard source said.
The Spanish rescuers had earlier given the name of the first boat as the “Right Whale.”
