The Canadian Navy said Friday it helped 18 fishermen who were adrift in a boat that ran out of fuel off the coast of Pakistan. The crew of the Navy ship Charlottetown on Thursday responded to a distress signal from the "Al-Rahman" fishing vessel with 18 Pakistanis on board that was adrift in the Gulf of Oman, the Navy said in a statement.
The Canadian vessel, which is collaborating with US-led forces fighting terrorism in the Gulf region, filled the fishing vessel's fuel tanks and helped it get on its way.
