(BRUSSELS) - Somali pirates on Wednesday hijacked a Comoran-flagged vessel
as it headed to Tanzania from the Comoros with 29 sailors on board, the
European Union anti-piracy mission said.
The 43-metre-long (140-foot) merchant vessel Aly Zoulfecar was en route
between the Indian Ocean archipelago and Dar Es Salam when it was attacked,
the EU NAFOR mission said in a statement.
“On the morning of 3 November 2010, the master of the MV Aly Zoulfecar
reported that pirates were on board,” the statement said.
The ship was carrying nine crew members and 20 passengers. Among those on
board, 13 were from Tanzania, 12 from Comoros and four from Madagascar.
The UN reported on Tuesday that Somali pirates had increased the number of
successful hijackings in 2010, become more violent and expanded their attack
zone.
The pirates staged 37 successful hijackings of ships in the first 10 months
of 2010, up from 33 in the same period of 2009, the UN report said.

Canada’s public safety minister has ordered members of a Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) community outreach unit not to attend a conference
http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/10/27/15853896.html in Ottawa
today featuring Iranian professors closely tied to the Islamic Republic’s
regime.
“Let me be clear,” Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said, “Canada’s national
police force must have no involvement in any event organized by those who
promote extremism and hatred.”
Until Toews spoke up, the Toronto Sun reports, “the RCMP’s ‘ethnic liaison
office’ was promoting the event to members of the national force and one of
the participants is a member of the Mounties’ cultural diversity committee.”
