Somali Pirates Seize 2 Vessels Off Kenya
Mombasa, Kenya (AHN) - The German army on Sunday confirmed that pirates have hijacked a German freighter after attacking it 1,930 km (1,200 miles) off the coast of Kenya.
German shipping company Beluga-Reederei owns the vessel. The number of people on board was not immediately known.
The incident came just a day after pirates seized a Singapore-flagged liquefied-gas tanker with 17 crew on board 170 km off Mombasa. The captain of the ship was German.

A novel idea : "The U.S. Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which was established during the American Revolutionary War and was essentially disbanded as a separate entity shortly thereafter. The United States Constitution provided the legal basis for a military ***** by giving Congress the power "to provide and maintain a navy".[5]
Depredations against American shipping by Barbary Coast pirates in the Mediterranean Sea spurred Congress to employ this power by passing the Naval Act of 1794 ordering the construction and manning of six frigates.[6] These ships were used to end most pirate activity off the Barbary Coast."
:dunno: Duh!
Strap on a pair you international communitarians!! :flame:
