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..

Somali pirates usually seize ships using the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest waterways. They earn multimillion dollar ransoms with little risk because Somalia has not had an effective government for 19 years...

Mr.. Mohamed, the Somali diplomat, said: "This is not a Somali problem. This is an international problem. Shipping across this Entire region is imperiled by this. "A true statement hardly strengthens his credentials
