2010-05-02 |
I didn't realize the Mistral class helo platform was so large: 21,000 tons. Pirate news from the Indian Ocean. French naval crews destroyed two pirate "mother ships" and captured 22 pirates total in two separate actions, according to a EU NAVFOR news release.
The search found what was described a pirate paraphernalia. The crew took 11 Somali prisoners and the two skiff aboard before sinking the larger vessel. |
