UN charts new course against Somalia piracy


UNITED NATIONS: Twenty-four nations pledged Wednesday at a US-led meeting to better coordinate their efforts against Somali piracy in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

Diplomats met privately at UN headquarters for the first time to talk about how to fight the rise of piracy off Somalia’s lawless coastline, where 11 vessels with 210 crew members are now in pirate hands.
