GIBRALTAR/SPAIN Yet another outbreak of stupidity emerges from the waters of the Bay of Algeciras. A 'grave' incident (say two Spanish papers) took place yesterday, Easter Sunday, when a Guardia Civil boat intercepted a drug smuggler speeding in from the Moroccan coast carrying (according to one Spanish paper) 100 kilos of hashish. One Gibraltar paper says that a police vessel sustained minor damage, and a Spanish one says a GC did same. The same Gibraltar paper says no one is believed to have been hurt in the incident, and a Spanish paper says one GC was injured. A Spanish website says that a single Guardia Civil boat was suddenly 'accosted' by seven vessels from the Rock, belonging to Customs, the Royal Navy and the RGP. And so it goes on, and on and on. Call it diplomatic ping-pong, or speedboat diplomacy, or anything else. What it is, is plain stupid ... or is everyone happy to intercept each other's anti-drug efforts and see their children brain dead from all that hash?
