Though they have been getting less attention from the media, Somali pirates are still active. The latest attack was a mistake. Pirates tried to take over a French navy ship.
“The pirates, who because of the darkness took the French ship for a commercial vessel, were on board two vessels and opened fire with Kalashnikovs,” Admiral Christophe Prazuck.
The French Navy caught on of the attacking boats; however, the pirates had thrown everything overboard leaving little evidence.
