Awwal 17, 1432 H / April 21, 2011, SPA -- The owner of a South Korean container ship says military commandoes have taken the vessel back from Somali pirates and the crew members are safe, according to AP. Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd. spokeswoman Sonya Cho says there is no word on the fate of the pirates after Thursday's operation in the Indian Ocean. It happened some 250 miles (400 kilometers) east of Yemen's Socotra island less than 24 hours after pirates took over the 75,000-ton Hanjin Tianjin during its voyage between Spain and Singapore.
