Pirates arrested as police storm hijacked boat
Hostages freed, 3 injured in raid off Somalia in latest in spate of attacks
MOGADISHU, Somalia: Security forces in northern Somalia stormed a hijacked ship Tuesday, rescuing the hostages and arresting seven pirates — three of whom were wounded in the operation, officials said.
The seizure was the latest in a spate of pirate attacks off the increasingly lawless Somali coast.
The Dubai-flagged ship, called the al-Khaleej, originated from the United Arab Emirates and was seized Monday, said Abdullahi Said Samatar, security affairs minister in Somalia's semiautonomous Puntland region.
