None

The Dutch navy says it has disarmed 12 more pirates off the coast of Somalia after luring them into a foolhearty attack on a warship.

 

The Netherlands' Defense Ministry says a German patrol plane detected the pirates' position and HNLMS Tromp was dispatched to the spot as part of an EU mission. The Tromp has caught 32 pirates in the past week, according to the statement Sunday. (AP)
