Iceland has broken a global moratorium on commercial whaling, killing the endangered fin whale for the first time since the 1980s, Icelandic media reported Sunday. Iceland's RUV television showed footage of a large fin whale being towed by the Hvalur 9 whaling boat. It said the whale was harpooned in the north Atlantic about 200 miles (320 kilometers) west of Iceland. Iceland announced last week that it would resume commercial whaling, ignoring a worldwide moratorium that came into effect in 1986.
