Pirates took hijacked Spanish trawler to a port in Somalia

The Spanish government says a hijacked trawler has been taken to port in Somalia with pirates still in charge of the vessel. Rescue force commander Gen Jaime Dominguez said in Madrid on Sunday that the Spanish owned fishing boat Alakrana was hijacked by pirates on Friday. It is being monitored by two navy warships. Dominguez also said at a press conference on Sunday that two suspected pirates had been captured as they navigated a small boat in the vicinity of the Alakrana. It was not clear if the two had come off the boat or were on their way to it. Dominguez did not specify which port the Alakrana had arrived at.<br/>
