5 Somalis brought to SKorea to be tried for piracy
Five Somali pirates captured during a raid on a hijacked cargo ship in the Arabian Sea were brought Sunday to South Korea, where they could face up to life imprisonment, the coast guard said.
The men were arrested as South Korean commandos raided the South Korean-operated Samho Jewelry earlier this month, a week after pirates seized the freighter and its 21 crew members. The commandos rescued all crew members - eight South Koreans, two Indonesians and 11 Myanmar citizens - and killed eight Somali pirates. (AP)
