S Korean ship seized off Somalia
The Koreans need to deal with Somalia pirates like the Americans do, with force.
Quote:
Pirates have seized a South Korean fishing boat off the coast of Somalia - the latest in a series of such attacks.
The Dongwon-ho 628, with a crew of 25, was fishing with two other South Korean boats in international waters, when two speedboats landed attackers on board.
US and Dutch naval ships gave chase, but held off when they saw the South Korean crew threatened with guns.
The boat is now in Somali territorial waters, but the Dongwon company says the crew is reported safe.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that eight attackers had boarded the 361-tonne vessel.
The crew of the Dongwon-ho 628 comprises nine Indonesians, eight South Koreans, five Vietnamese and three Chinese.
The boat was 100km (60 miles) off the Somali coast, when it was attacked on Tuesday.
