“Clinton Seeks End to ‘Scourge of Piracy’ as U.S. Navy Races to Hijacked American Ship”

Wednesday, April 08, 2009

SNIPPET: “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Wednesday for world action to “end the scourge of piracy” as U.S. warships raced to confront pirates who hijacked a U.S.-flagged ship off the coast of Somalia.

American crew members aboard the hijacked ship were able to regain control of the vessel Wednesday, but the ship’s captain still is being held hostage on a smaller boat.

“We are deeply concerned and we are following it very closely,” Clinton said.”
