RCMP, navy vessels head for Tamil migrant ship

A flotilla of 10 vessels, including RCMP craft and a navy ship, have left the B.C. coast headed for a Thai cargo ship believed to be carrying several hundred Tamil migrants.
The MV Sun Sea entered Canada's exclusive economic zone — which extends 200 nautical miles, or about 370 kilometres — on Wednesday.
The cargo ship is thought to be carrying between 200 and 500 Tamil migrants from Sri Lanka.
It is not clear when the ship might arrive inside Canadian territorial waters — which extend about 12 nautical miles (22 km) off the coast — but officials had said the vessel would arrive by early Friday at the latest.
