No this isn't Johnny Depp. Pirates are still at large on a busy trading route near Somalia that links Europe and Asia. The U.N. announced today that they have authorized foreign navies to engage the pirates. I'm not sure what was holding them back in the first place, or why they needed the U.N.'s permission, but anyhoo...
"Already this year Somali bandits have carried out around 30 attacks - including three last week - on fishing trawlers, tugboats, cargo ships transporting food aid and even a luxury French yacht."
