KENYA-SOMALIA-SPAIN-PIRACY
A picture released by the EU Navfor and taken on November 3, 2010 shows the EU Navfor SPS Galicia helicopter firing to intercept a skiff along the Kenyan coastline, after the ship's helicopter was able to sight two suspicious skiffs, sailing with ladders, jerry cans and powerful overboard motors. One of the two skiffs (on picture) was quickly intercepted. Further attempts to stop the second skiff continued, in vain. "The absence of flagrante delicto did not make it possible to pursue prosecution. One skiff was confiscated and suspected pirates were sent back to Somalia in the second one. This disruption hampered pirate action and avoided highly probable attacks on merchant and vulnerable vessels", the EU Navfor said.
