Sweden Expands Hunt for Suspected Russian Sub

Sweden is widening its search for what may be a distressed Russian submarine in the waters near Stockholm.

Authorities today ordered all ships to leave the large cluster of some 30,000 islands where the vessel was possibly spotted. A no fly zone has also gone into effect over the area.

The Swedish military has been searching for the mysterious vessel from the air and on the water since Friday

Russia has denied any involvement. Instead, the Russians suggested it was actually a Dutch submarine.

The Dutch Defense Ministry spokeswoman, however, told the BBC that “it was definitely not a Dutch submarine.” .... http://abcnews.go.com
