British forces on patrol off the Somalian waters have destroyed a pirate vessel, according to NATO. The craft, a mother-ship, was spotted by a helicopter from HMS Montrose.
A NATO statement then said that snipers, "sank it with heavy machine gun fire in full view of the pirate camp." The boat was identified as the whaler from the MV Zouflecar. The vessel was seen acting as a pirate "mother-ship". Commanding officer on board the Montrose, Jonathan Lett said:
"Our destruction of the whaler close to a known pirate camp has sent a message to the Somali pirates, that NATO and other coalition forces are willing to take the fight to them in order to prevent them attacking merchant ships."

The pirate mother-ship destroyed by the helicopter and in full view of the pirate camp had been taken by pirates on November 3. NATO had given the warship full permission to destroy the vessel, reports Herald Sun.

25. Fuck em.
They seize and hold mariners for ransom. These guys don't hesitate to kill. We are not out there sinking fishing boats, we are destroying para-military vessels.
Plenty tote the DUmmie line and say it's bullshit, it's all our fault that their pirates, yada yada yada...
Just found it interesting that there are plenty who are quite happy with killing indiscriminate murderers. Wonder if they sing the same tune when we bomb some Taliban. :rolleyes:
