[PUP] 40 French Crew On 228' Sailing Vessel Held For Ransom In Somalia

[Ron Rogers]

A French destroyer is proceeding to the location of the sailing vessel in the
Gulf of Aden. The destroyer's helicopter has been over the vessel. A US vessel
with Marines (and probably SEALs) is 100 miles away and the French have
substantial military assets in Djibouti.

Recently, the Danish government ransomed the crew of a Danish cargo vessel.
