Navy thwarts pirates
The Indian navy said yesterday it thwarted a pirate attack on a Norwegian tanker in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. An Indian warship patrolling the seas responded to a distress call from the tanker belonging to the Nordic American Tanker Company after it was fired upon by pirates, the navy said in New Delhi.
