Somali officials have urged tough action against pirates who seized a French yacht several days ago in Somali waters. A small French warship, the Commandant Bouan, and an elite French paramilitary unit are ready to intervene if negotiations with the pirates breakdown. The mayor of a small coastal village in northern Somalia dismissed media reports that the hijacked yacht has anchored near the village of Eyl.
