      Two Men Still Missing after Boat Collision


      Rescue teams still are looking for two Slovakians who have been missing since the Thursday night collision between an outgoing passenger ship and an anchored cargo vessel off the Haifa coast. The cargo ship sank and 11 men were rescued from the water within 15 minutes and were ferried to land by helicopters.

      Initial reports indicated that the passenger ship, flying a Cypriot flag, lost its steering. The passengers were not injured.
