France Pursues Yacht Seized by Pirates
MOGADISHU, Somalia (April 6) - A French luxury yacht seized by suspected pirates in the Gulf of Aden with 30 crew members on board has arrived in northern Somalia, officials and fishermen said Sunday.
About 10 suspected pirates had stormed the 288-foot Le Ponant on Friday as it was returning, without passengers, from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. The pirates then guided the vessel down Somalia's eastern coast.
Local fisherman Mahdi Daud Anbuure told The Associated Press that he saw the ship arriving at the northern town of Eyl, with a small boat heading toward it, apparently with supplies.

One of the truly said things is that this is going on all the time.
With local traffic.
And one of the most dangerous thing is that is also going on with major container, freighters and oil tankers.
And that connections have been made between the pirates and world terrorist groups.
