Hanging them from the yardarm would be the proper way to handle this affair. .

the pirates stopped and were seen throwing items, presumably pirate paraphernalia, overboard,
Hmm, maybe we can track them down by getting Mastercard records from pirateparaphrenalia.com.

A French fishing vessel with soldiers on board off the Somali coast?
Sounds like a sting to me. And an effective one.

What was the pirate paraphernalia they threw overboard? Eye patches, peg legs, earrings, and grog I presume, so they could pass as Somalian savages.

Pirate flag sunk after complaint A pirate flag run up a flag pole on Inverness's town house has been removed after a former merchant seaman complained it was in bad taste.
The skull and cross bones was to promote Highland Council's Halloween event on the River Ness.
The authority confirmed the Jolly Roger had been taken down and its usual Saltire put back above the building.
It is understood a former sailor complained that it was inappropriate given incidents of piracy off Somalia.

I think they use grappling hooks and such to board the ships that are their intended victims.

“The seven were arrested by personnel from the German warship —
FGS Karlsruhe — when it arrived in the area, after the fishing boat
had been called back to the scene to try to identify the attackers. “
Wonder if this means a trip to Germany, an acquittal at trial and
German citizenship?
I’m not knocking the Germans...but that almost sounds like the Obama
plan for dealing with terrorists.
Such as the ones still in Gitmo.

Keep watching. The International criminal court will rule this as entrapment and ban security aboard any civilian vessel.
