Somali Pirates Attack Another US Ship

Source: VOA

Somali pirates have attacked another U.S. ship off the coast of Africa, but they were not successful in taking the vessel.

The ship, called Liberty Son, is now under military escort following the attempted hijacking. It is reported on its way to Mombasa, Kenya.

This latest attack comes just three days after the dramatic rescue of an American cargo ship captain held captive by Somali pirates. Three of his captors were killed in that rescue operation, while a fourth was captured.

child soldiers being used as pawns.
