Taiwan's Formosa under fire over Vietnam mass fish deaths

HANOI: Taiwanese conglomerate Formosa was under attack in Vietnam's normally staid state-media Monday over allegations of industrial pollution leaching from a multi-billion dollar steel mill that may have caused mysterious mass fish deaths.

Tons of dead fish, including rare species which live far offshore and in the deep, have been washing up on beaches along the country's central coast, causing public alarm and hitting local fishermen.
