US Navy holds 6 suspected pirates after battle
The U.S. Navy is holding six suspected pirates after a sea battle off the Horn of Africa. It's the third U.S. Navy encounter with pirates in the past 10 days in the violence-plagued waters off Somalia and nearby regions. At least 21 suspected pirates have been captured.The U.S. Navy says suspected pirates began shooting at the amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland Saturday, about 380 miles off Djibouti, a small nation facing Yemen across the mouth of the Red Sea. Try shooting back with larger caliber weapons next time. Posted by: ed 2010-04-10 |
