| Norwegian warship in sea-battle off Somali coast: EU |
| 2009-11-01 |
| A Norwegian warship inspecting fishing boats off the coast of Somalia for suspected pirate activity was caught in heavy gunfire in the early hours of Sunday, a European Union naval commander said. The Norwegian sailors, cruising just off the north-eastern Somali coast, were fired upon in the dead of night by a dhow with between five and seven men on board and armed with heavy weaponry and Kalashnikov rifles, he added. Local Puntland region officials claimed on Sunday that a Yemeni fisherman and a Somali had been killed when "French forces opened fire." |

| #2 Nah, they probably had to call the EU to get permission to return fire without reading the pirates their rights. And even if they did return fire, they would only be allowed to use weapons no heavier than the pirates. |
