Smile Canadians Film Attack On Somali Pirate Ship

Canadians Film Attack On Somali Pirate Ship


As darkness fell, Cdr. Baines cut the lights and caught up with the smaller vessel by stealth. After firing another flurry of warning shots, sailors boarded the pirate craft, recovering a rocket-propelled grenade round.

The NATO patrol saved the Norwegian tanker from capture and robbed a gang of bandits of weapons, most of which the pirates tossed into the sea while being chased.

But after all that, the Somalis were released. The Canadian sailors , like their NATO allies, lack the authority to make arrests in international waters.

Arrests?! Arrests?! Why?! They had them dead to rights, so make them dead, right?
