The crew of an Italian cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates has been freed by British special forces, Italy's defence ministry has said.
Eleven pirates were captured after the rescue operation, the ministry added.
Pirates attacked the Montecristo vessel carrying 23 crew members - seven Italians, six Ukranians and 10 Indians - on Monday.
The foreign ministry has expressed great satisfaction in the operation and extended thanks to the British Navy for its role.
Pirates flourish off largely lawless Somalia by attacking passing ships, taking hostages and demanding ransoms to free them and the vessels.

What great luck for the Romans that one of Britain's two ships was in their area! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/commandos-storm-ship-hija...

Did the article miss out the part where the pirates were thrown over the side and left for the sharks?
Or have I had too much coffee again?
That would be brutal and so un-EU-like. BTW, I have heard that the EU has banned children under 8 years old from blowing up balloons as they are a choking hazard. Is this true? Or have I had too much coffee again?

So I guess that the pirates will be released and just hijack another vessel next week...Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
