'Stink' attack on Japan's whalers
An anti-whaling group says its members have thrown "stink" bombs at a Japanese whaling ship in the Antarctic.

The Sea Shepherd group said crew on one of its boats lobbed 10 bottles of rotten butter and 15 bottles of a methyl cellulose at the Japanese ship.

No-one was injured during Friday's incident north of the Mawson Peninsular, Japanese officials said.

They said their ship was on a research expedition. Opponents say this could be a cover for banned commercial whaling.
