Two killed aboard Cyprus cruise ship in storm off Spain

Two people have been killed and seven injured by a large wave which struck a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea near Spain, coast guard officials said on Wednesday.
A coastguard spokesman added that the Cyprus-owned Maltese-registered "Louis Majesty" was heading for Genoa when it ran into rough seas off the northeast Spanish coast.
"A wave broke the glass in the area of the saloon and water was taken on board. There are two dead and six injured," he said.
A spokesman for owners Louis Cruises in Cyprus, said the ship had sailed through waves 8 metres tall.
The captain did not request help but decided to put into Barcelona so the injured could receive treatment. (Reuters)
