The seven Indian crew members onboard a merchant ship that was attacked by LTTE rebels off the Jaffana Peninsula were safe, the ship's owners said on Monday. They said the MV City of Liverpool which was damaged in yesterday's suicide attack by the Tamil Tigers was now in the port of Kankesanthurai and undergoing repair. The seven Indian crew members were safe but an Indonesian chief engineer was wounded in the attack and has been hospitalised, a spokesman for the owner said. The vessel had unloaded 440 tonnes of wheat flour when the attack took place and the balance 1,400 tonnes of flour will be unloaded today, he said. The Lankan Navy and the LTTE were locked in a sea battle after the Tamil Tigers rammed an explosive-laden boat into the cargo vessel.
