SOMALIA-SHIPPING-PIRACY-EU-SPAIN-NORWAY
A picture released on August 6, 2010 by the EU Navfor shows Spanish frigate SPS Victoria tracking a pirate skiff (bottom) on August 3, 2010 in the Gulf of Aden. The Spanish warship SPS Victoria foiled an attack on a Norwegian chemical tanker in the Gulf of Aden, holding seven suspected Somali pirates pending possible prosecution. A pirate skiff shot at the bridge of the MV Bow Saga, which responded with water hoses to prevent the assailants climbing aboard, before a helicopter from the SPS Victoria managed to intervene. "The pirates stopped the attack and tried to flee," NAVFOR forces said. "After warning shots, first from the helicopter and then from the warship, the pirates eventually stopped and the skiff was searched by a boarding team. Weapons were subsequently found on the skiff."
