Spain calls in UK ambassador to protest Gibraltar incident
None
MADRID- Spain's Foreign Ministry has called in the British ambassador to protest what it described as reckless behavior by a Gibraltar police boat patrol toward a Spanish police vessel.
In a statement, the ministry said Monday it had lodged a serious complaint with Ambassador Simon Manley, saying Gibraltar police had approached a Spanish police vessel twice at great speed Friday and only diverted its direction and avoided a collision at the last moment.
It said the action, which occurred in waters between Gibraltar and Spain, had placed both crews at risk.
