MANILA (AFP) Apr 04, 2003
The Philippine Navy arrested 11 Malaysian suspected poachers Friday after intercepting their fishing boat off the western island of Palawan.

A second Malaysian fishing boat, however, raced back to international waters after spotting a Philippine naval vessel on patrol, the navy said in a statement.

The captain and crew of the captured Malaysian boat were arrested and would be turned over to immigration authorities, the navy said.
