With Somali pirates showing no sign of halting their hijackings in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, a South Korean warship joined other navies combating the sea gangs, and more ships from Europe are due to join in from next month. The South Korean ship arrived off Somalia's coast where the hijackers have captured dozens of ships, taken hundreds of sailors prisoner and made off with millions of dollars in ransoms. Sweden will send two frigates and a refueling vessel to bolster the EU's anti-piracy mission in May, while the Netherlands and Norway will each deploy a vessel in the area in August, a European Union source told Reuters. On Thursday, U.S. forces closely guarded the U.S. warship Bainbridge after it docked at Kenya's Mombasa port, carrying Captain Richard Phillips. U.S. navy snipers on the warship had killed three pirates on Sunday who had held Phillips on a lifeboat far out at sea. Local police said a fourth pirate captured in the raid was likely to be taken to the United States for trial. "It seems like there was no agreement between the two countries so (the Americans) are most probably taking him away with them," said Ayub Gitonga, the port's police chief. He said he had seen Phillips aboard the U.S. ship. He said the 53-year-old father-of-two had been wearing overalls and a cap and was apparently jovial. Phillips' huge container ship, the Maersk Alabama, was attacked by Somali pirates last week, but his crew fought off the gunmen. The captain apparently volunteered to board the lifeboat in return for the safety of his 19 crew members. On Thursday, their relatives waved tiny American flags and burst into cheers and applause as the sailors returned safely to Andrews Air Force base near Washington. DONORS TO MEET Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Wednesday for more international coordination to fight piracy off Somalia, where foreign navies have struggled to stem a wave of attacks on commercial shipping. Clinton said the pirates were criminals and that she would send an envoy to a major April 22 donors' conference on Somalia in Brussels to push for new anti-piracy steps. Early this week, pirates captured two more ships and opened fire on two others. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
