MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- Somali militiamen who skirmished with U.S.
Navy
vessels claimed Sunday they did not fire the first shot and that they had
been patrolling Somali waters to stop illegal fishing vessels.



Note CNN's use of the word "militiamen", instead of "Pirates, Gunmen",
etc. ... They "skirmished", instead of "attacked".


Excellent observation.
