Somalia

Somalia’s parliament has unanimously approved the implementation of sharia across the country. A man claiming to be a spokesman for the Somali pirate groups has vowed to retaliate against French and US warships operating in the region. Dutch commandos freed 20 Yemeni hostages and briefly detained seven pirates who had forced the Yemenis to sail a “mother ship” attacking vessels in the Gulf of Aden.
