Indian navy sinks suspected pirate "mother" ship




NEW DELHI – An Indian naval vessel sank a suspected pirate "mother ship" in the Gulf of Aden and chased two attack boats into the night, officials said Wednesday, yet more violence in the lawless seas where brigands are becoming bolder and more violent.

Separate bands of pirates also seized a Thai ship with 16 crew members and an Iranian cargo vessel with a crew of 25 in the Gulf of Aden, where Somalia-based pirates appear to be attacking ships at will, said Noel Choong of the International Maritime Bureau's piracy reporting center in Malaysia.

I know, one would think, but apparently they are still around and are more hi tech. Well i hope that thought them a lesson, they've gotten away with murder and kidnappings for ransom, far too long.

I wonder what the pirates did with all the ransom money they collected? They were from Somalia, why didn't they help their own poor people? Hmm
