(NSI News Source Info) May 1, 2009: French soldiers inspect the boat that held three pirates who where captured early this morning and taken to the french warship "Nivose", in the North Seychelles area of Indian Ocean, on April 30, 2009, as part of the EU's Atalante anti-piracy naval mission. 
Somali pirates are currently holding at least 16 ships and more than 250 seamen for ransom. Attacks surged this month as calm seas allowed them to approach their prey more easily and dodge the increasing naval presence in the region.
