Washed Up

A week after 14 Somali pirates were detained off the Indian coast, another group of 21 foreign nationals, including 18 Somali pirates and three Yemenis, were detained as they washed ashore.

“They were spotted in a big rubber boat by locals”. According to the police preliminary investigation revealed that the Somalis were pirates and the Yemenis had been abducted.

It seems the Indian Ocean currents are more effective than any naval presence at rounding pirates up.
