These pirates will never learn! French navy captures 11 suspected pirates  MOMBASA, Kenya, May 3 (UPI) -- The French navy said Sunday it had 11 suspected pirates in custody following an apparently misguided piracy attempt on the Indian Ocean east of Kenya.  French naval Capt. Christophe Prazuck said the suspects were detained after two pirate assault boats were preparing to attack a French military vessel, apparently mistaking the ship for a commercial vessel, CNN reported. The encounter occurred 620 miles from Mombasa, Kenya.  Prazuck said a French helicopter fired warning shots at the speeding vessels before they could fire at the military ship. The suspects were found in possession of rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 rifles, Prazuck alleged. You can read the rest of the story HERE.
