Offshore Attack
Seven armed pirates, believed to be Somalis, have been apprehended by the Tanzanian army in their bid to hijack an offshore support vessel.
The pirates were captured after attacking the vessel, “Sam-S-All Good”, off the Tanzanian coast.
This week’s incident brings to a total of 18 pirates captured on the Tanzanian coast since the launching of joint operations between African states, the US, and European states.
