Pirates seize ship carrying tanks, ammo
Hummmmmmmm
(CNN) -- A Ukrainian ship carrying tanks and ammunition has been seized by pirates off the coast of Kenya, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry told CNN.................. ................The Russian patrol ship Neustrashimy, which left Wednesday for the coast off Somalia, may help crack down on pirates, a source in the Russian Baltic Fleet headquarters told Interfax-AVN on Friday. And the Russian Navy's commander, Adm. Vladimir Vysotsky, told Interfax that Russia plans to send combat ships to the Somali coast to fight piracy. "We have such plans for the near future," he said. "However, Russian ships will not be involved in any international operations. They will do this job on their own." http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa...nks/index.html |
