Day Late and a Tanker Short: Royal Navy Fights Somali Pirates

Posted by: Scott @ 6:31 am in Fanatical Islam, Military, War On Terror, foreign policy, somalia  | 0 views

By now, it shouldn’t be news to anyone that the waters around Somalia abound with modern day pirates. NATO, Russia, US, you name it…seems like most of the countries in the world are sending ships to confont the Somali pirates (who are interestingly enough tied to Al Queda). Today, the Royal Navy actually got into a high seas shootout with some of the pirates. Sadly, they did not get the pirates who managed to captured a tanker loaded with chemicals the day before.
