Somali Pirates Seize Cargo Ship With 24 Aboard
NAIROBI, Kenya -- The European Union's anti-piracy naval force says Somali pirates have seized a cargo vessel with 24 crew members aboard.
The owners of MV Polar confirmed early Saturday that pirates control the ship, the EU force said in a statement. Pirates seized the Liberian-owned ship some 684 miles east of the Indian Ocean island of Socotra. It belongs to Yemen but is close to the tip of northeastern Somalia. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/10...rd-1230496049/ Note:Published October 30, 2010

If the EU has an anti-piracy naval force, why is the headline not
EU Anti-Piracy Naval Forces sink Somali Pirate ship?

It is time that the Naval Forces shows "balls" to make it order and no long-term stories, pirates are already holding several ships hostage..
