Salina - rescue operation under water: divers have freed a sperm whale from a fishing net off the coast of Italy. The network was confiscated as "illegal fishing gear".

The ten-meter-long male animal caught the tail fin in the net off the Aeolian island of Salina, said the coast guard on Sunday.

In a difficult operation at a depth of two meters, a team of divers was able to free the sperm whale. The animal could then join three other whales, all of which had been waiting for it some distance away.
