ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's military says navy commandos aboard a frigate have captured 13 pirates in the Indian Ocean.
The military says the commandos aboard Turkey's TCG Gelibolu stopped the pirate vessel on Sunday as it sailed off the Seychelles on a route being used by a Turkish freighter heading to Mombassa, Kenya.
The commandos captured the pirates, destroyed their two skiffs and confiscated other pirate material.
The military says the pirates were photographed throwing weapons and ammunition overboard, but didn't say how close the pirates were to the freighter.
The Turkish frigate is part of an international anti-piracy force patrolling the area, which includes Somalia, where pirates are based.
The military did not say where the captured pirates would be taken.

Capturing them is a big problem. They will eat your food, $hit on your land and then their brothers in Somalia will hijack a ship with Turkish sailors abroad and threaten to kill them if these idiots are not released. Better to put them in a boat with a hole in it on the high seas.

In the "old days", the punishment for piracy was summary execution, often at sea. It is foolish to go soft on pirates.
