WarNerd    The Somali Pirates Go For It!   4/1/2010 8:53:42 PM
It is looking like a wild week for the Somali Pirates.
 
Apparently they hijacked 7 or 8 vessels on their way to Dubai, all in one day.
 
Catch and release.  12 pirates apparently mistook the Hr. Ms. Tromp... and attacked.  2 attack boats destroyed and the crews returning to Somalia on the mothership.
 
A US Navy ship.  Pirates captured and are being conveyed to Kenya for trial.
 
HOWEVER: 
Kenya says it can no longer shoulder the burden alone, and is refusing to accept anymore captured pirates. 
 
So, now what?
