EGYPT-SUEZ-PIRACY
Egyptian school children stand on a pier in the port town of Ismalia, 120 kilometers northeast of Cairo, as the US guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan transits the Suez from the Red Sea towards the Mediterranean on its way back home after a six-month counter-piracy operation around the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. On Feb 12, the USS Mahan helped capture nine Somali pirates after responding to a distress call from a merchant ship. Piracy in the region has caused a steep drop in the Suez Canal income, according to the US Navy. AFP PHOTO/STR
