Somali pirate patrols 'may widen'
Mogadishu, 11 Dec-(ANA)-The British admiral in charge of the EU flotilla carrying out anti-piracy patrols off Somalia is considering extending the area which they patrol.
Rear Adm Peter Hudson said this was because some attacks had been closer to India than the coast of Africa.
The EU Naval Force is one of the main international formations trying to counter piracy off Somalia.
These forces insist they have reduced the number of successful attacks, but they have not eliminated them. (ANA)
