An unknown ship dumped tons of waste oil into the sea off western India, creating tar balls that were heaping on Goa's famed beaches Wednesday, officials said.

 

Indian navy and coast guard vessels were trying to trace the ship that is believed to have dumped burnt oil about three days ago, said Aleixo Sequeira, the state's environment minister. "If we are ab le to find the vessel, then action would be immediately initiated," Sequeira said. He declined to say what action would be taken. (AP)
