Joint Naval Forces Seize Somali Pirate Ship
Reading
The EU and Indian navies worked together. They took control of a pirate ship off Somalia. The ship was used to capture a tanker from Malta.
The pirates used an Iranian boat named Issamohamadi. It helped them capture the Hellas Aphrodite tanker. The tanker had gasoline and was going from India to South Africa.
Spanish sailors checked the Issamohamadi boat. The original crew was safe and free. Iran has not said anything about the boat being taken.
The EU said they stopped the pirate group. They found proof to help punish the pirates. The proof came from both the boat and the captured tanker.
Piracy was very high in 2011 off Somali coast. It cost the world a lot of money that year. Pirate attacks have increased recently because of problems in the Red Sea.
