SYDNEY: A boat carrying a group of radical anti-whaling activists collided with a Japanese whaling vessel in the Antarctic Ocean on Friday in a dramatic clash. No one was injured. In a statement, the Institute of Cetacean Research _ the Japanese government-affiliated organization that oversees the hunt _condemned the protesters' actions, characterizing the collision as a`` deliberate ramming'' that occurred while the Japanese were trying to load a whale on board one of their ships. ``While no one was injured, the circumstances could have been much worse, even fatal,'' the institute's director, Minoru Morimoto, said in the statement.
