For the first time, military personnel from a warship have stormed another vessel which Somali Pirates were trying to hijack. A spokesman for the European Union Naval Force, who patrols off the Somali coast, says special forces from a Dannish ship scaled the sides of the vessel and freed the 25 crew who locked themselves in a secure room. He said when the pirates saw two warships heading towards them they decided to take off. Initially, he said, the rescue team thought that the pirates were aboard the ship but actually they escaped from other side of the vessel . <br/>
