EU Commandos Retake Pirate-Held Ship
Editor's summary:
Somalia — It is being reported that Danish Special Forces today recaptured the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged Ariella, which was under attack from suspected Somali pirates.
The crew apparently sent out a distress call earlier today and then locked themselves into a secure room where the commandos rescued them. It is not clear yet what happened to the pirates.
