The capture of a Yemeni dhow off the Somalian coast was all that initially went right for a suspected pirate gang. Four days later they and the captured vessel were apprehended by the European Union Naval Force’s (EU NavFor’s) Operation Atalanta after failed attempts to board three vessels.The incidents, which played out between 21 and 23 April, were the first attempted pirate attacks off the Horn of Africa since October last year.
