NEW DELHI, India — The Indian navy captured 23 pirates who threatened a merchant vessel in the lawless waters of the Gulf of Aden, and a German naval helicopter thwarted another attack Saturday on a freighter being chased by speedboats off Yemen.
The successes came days before U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was to ask the United Nations to authorize “all necessary measures” against increasingly bold Somali pirates operating in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
