Somali pirates tried to capture three cargo ships
10:59 // 08/08/2008 Somali pirates tried to capture three cargo ships in the Gulf of Aden. According to the Associated Press with reference to the statement of local authorities, they attacked the ship from China, Singapore and Thailand. However, the crew was active and did not allow the pirates to seize control of the ships. Somalia, where since 1991 there is no functioning government, is the most “hot” point for sailors due to the huge number of pirates.
