US Warships picking up Al-Q hardboyz at sea
MOGADISHU, Somalia — U.S. ships patrolling off the coast of Somalia have picked up a number of people suspected of having ties to wanted Al Qaeda terrorists who are being interrogated for any clues to the whereabouts of the group's key leaders.

For days, U.S. warships, including the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower, have been positioned in the Indian Ocean to interdict vessels sailing from Somalia to make sure no terror suspects flee the country by sea. One of those warships, the amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland, is being used to detain anyone wanted for questioning.
After which it's off to Ice Station Zebra.
The senior military official said U.S. Navy personnel from some of the four warships enforcing a blockade off the Somali coast boarded vessels and detained less than a dozen people, including some who could be relatives of wanted Al Qaeda suspects or otherwise associated with the terror group.
