Marines land by helicopter to overthrow Somali priates
Russian marines yesterday stormed an oil tanker seized by Somali pirates, killing one hijacker and capturing ten others, the Telegraph reports.
The helicopter-backed rescue operation rescued all 23 crew members of the MV Moscow University just 20 hours after pirates seized the Russian vessel some 500 miles off the Somali coast. The ten captured pirates will be brought to Moscow to stand trial.
The hijacked ship's captain, Yuri Tulchinsky, said he had been on his way to China with a cargo of oil worth £35m when attached by priates.
