Taiwanese fishing boat catches fire in Malacca Straits

The rear of a Taiwanese fishing boat is seen engulfed in flames when it was passing through the Malacca Straits to reach Singapore, July 15, 2010. The eight fishermen on board, including two Chinese and six Filipinos, have been sent to the hospital. Their injuries were not life threatening. The preliminary cause of the fire seems to be an engine breakdown.[Photo/Xinhua]
