WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Navy arrested nine more suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia Thursday -- the second capture in two days -- after receiving a distress call from an Indian-flagged commercial ship.

According to the Navy announcement, at 4 a.m. local time the Indian-flagged Premdivya sent a distress call to all ships in the area reporting that she had been fired upon by a small skiff, and suspected pirates were attempting to board it.
A U.S. Navy helicopter crew was launched from the USS Vella Gulf and fired two warning shots at the small boat to get them to stop. A Navy boarding team was then launched to investigate the skiff's crew and found rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons on board the small craft, according to Navy officials.

The Navy is now holding a total of 16 suspected pirates while the U.S. and Kenyan governments work out legal details on how the suspects will be moved to Kenya for prosecution.

Last month, the United States and Kenya signed an agreement saying that suspected pirates captured by U.S. ships will be moved to Kenya to be tried for their crimes.

as soon as the socialist regime in this country finds out that Kenya will actually PROSECUTE these
pirates, 'The Plight of the Somali Pirates" will become the next cause celebre...I wonder when
Sean Penn will make the trip to Kenya to decry American Imperialism and the use of foreign powers
not constrained by U.S. law, to prosecute these pirates. We should bring them here...to New York City for
their civil trials....

Personally, I don't see why the crew on that chopper did not just light up that boat of pirates and have
done with it. No Prisoners.....
