Sea News April Update

11-Apr-2008

Updated information regarding the Somali pirates who seized the vessel Le Ponant: French commandos launched a raid on the pirates after the hostages were released, capturing six of the modern day sea rovers and recovering a significant portion of the $2 million ransom. News reports have not identified the commandos, except to note that fifty commandos-marine were nearby, as was a small team of GIGN.
