#1 Spiegel will likely have translated English version later. Highlight:
Dutch commandos storm "MS Taipan", capture 10 pirates and liberate all 15 crewmembers at the cost of one injured commando. Helicopter shot up ship's bridge during raid, but ship should be able to continue its planned route from Mombasa to Djibouti.
