5 suspects arrested by the Psara then released
(B2) A Danish chemical tanker (Norwegian shipowner), the Sigloo Tor, was attacked last night in the Gulf of Aden by pirates. Without success. EUNAVFOR's European flagship, the Greek frigate Psara, which had gone nearby, spotted 5 men aboard a skiff fairly quickly. The suspects have been apprehended. But were released a little later. " No concrete evidence of piracy could not be discovered, said EUNAVFOR HQ in Northwood.
Explanation of some sailors: the suspects would have thrown the weapons overboard before the arrival of the Greek soldiers.
