UN Security Council Moves to Allow Naval Ships to Pursue Pirates into Somali Waters
From Marine Log:
The UN Security Council may request the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia to allow naval ships to pursue pirate vessels into Somali territorial waters.
In some past incidents, coalition warships have watched helplessly when hijacked vessels have reached Somali waters.
A recent increase in the frequency of attacks by pirates has seen a dramatic reduction in the use of cargo vessels to move food assistance to Somalia from ports in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa.
