Libya/Italy: Machine gun attack on Italian fishing boat by Libyan coast guards: what happens during patrols against "illegal" immigration?

"In the evening of 12 September 2010, an Italian fishing boat with ten crew members on board was fired at repeatedly with a machine gun during a lengthy chase after it failed to stop when called upon to do so by Libyan coast guards in international waters in the Gulf of Sirte (off the Libyan coast)."
