Oops, Pirates Rush French Military ShipCNN
posted: 48 MINUTES AGOcomments: 361filed under: Pirates News, World NewsPrintShareText SizeAAA(May 4) - The French Navy said they seized 11 pirates Sunday after they apparently mistook a French military vessel for a commercial ship and made a run at it off the coast of Kenya.
Two pirate assault boats approached the Nivose "at great speed," Capt. Christophe Prazuck said, but a French helicopter intervened before the attackers had time to fire at the French navy ship.

The helicopter fired warning shots, he said.
The pirates, who had a mother ship as well as the two assault boats, are being held for questioning on the Nivose, Prazuck said. The vessels were carrying AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, but the pirates did not fire, he said.


When Interviewed, the Pirates said, "We knew the ship was French, so naturally we thought they would simply surrender......."

:D

No, it's a fact.

Did you know that the Statue of Liberty was not initially intended to be a gift to the United States? Yep.

When the artist finished they realized that it would look extremely out of place in France.....only one arm was raised !


:laugh

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......
