Engine Theft

Somalia pirates have attacked a Yemeni fishing boat off the southeastern province of Shabwa, firing on it and taking its engine, security officials have said.

“About 7 pirates attacked the boat while fishing off Bir Ali. They fired on it but the fisherman, 24, onboard was not hurt,” they said, adding that the pirates just took the engine of the boat to use it for carrying out more attacks, and ran away.
