SOMALIA-US-PIRACY-SHIPPING
This undated handout image recieved on April 15, 2009 courtesy of the Liberty Maritime Corporation of Lake Success, NY, shows the Liberty Sun. Pirates attacked the American freighter Liberty Sun with rocket fire and machine guns but the ship escaped even as other vessels fell into the clutches of marauding Somali bandits. Pirates have taken four ships since losing two battles with US and French forces at the weekend. Their latest target was the Liberty Sun which was heading for the Kenyan port of Mombasa with international food aid when it was attacked late April 14, the owners said. The USS Bainbridge, which mounted the operation to rescue the captain of another freighter carrying food for Africa, came to the rescue of the Liberty Sun, officials said.
