News – World: Pirates board, Indian navy strike

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

New Delhi – The Indian navy says it has arrested 23 pirates who threatened a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden.

Navy spokesperson Commander Nirad Sinha says Indian forces repulsed the pirates Saturday as they were about to board the merchant ship.

He says the pirates are from Somalia and Yemen, two countries surrounding the Gulf of Aden.

No further details were immediately available.

Last month, India’s navy drew criticism after sinking a Thai fishing trawler that had been commandeered hours earlier by pirates.

The navy defended its actions, saying it had fired in self-defense.

Somali pirates have become increasingly brazen, and recently seized a Saudi supertanker loaded with $100-million worth of crude oil. – Sapa-AP
