A group of Somali pirates has been captured after attacking a French navy ship by mistake. A French military spokesman said the pirates attacked the ship late last night off the Somali coast apparently thinking it was a harmless cargo vessel. But the command and supply ship, the Somme, repelled the attack and chased the pirates, capturing five of them. The suspected pirates are now being held on board the Somme.
