Norway raises whaling kill quota
Norwegian whalers will be allowed to kill a total of 1,052 minke whales in 2006, an increase of 30%.

The quota was raised from 797 - already a record - after a unanimous vote in parliament, the government said.

Norway resumed commercial whaling in 1993 despite a worldwide ban, sparking condemnation from many nations.
