Latest report on the arrests of pirates in the Gulf of Aden

(B2)I updated the review pirates - by refining my counting system. According to this latest assessment, since the start of international operations to combat piracy, nearly 202 people were arrested by warships, crossing the Gulf of Aden and off Somalia and Kenya, some of them in flagrante delicto (attack) or on strong suspicions (visit on board and discovery of weapons of war) . Of this number, 159 were brought to justice, most often neighboring countries (Yemen, Puntland-Somalia, Kenya) - except 21 people repatriated to France, the Netherlands and the USA.
