A Brigand's Eyl View Of The Sea The Indian naval warship ins Tabar has roiled the Gulf of Aden, warding off two piracy attempts early in November and then, a week later, dramatically sinking a fishing trawler the pirates had overpowered with the purported aim of using it for another foray. From then on, the swirling sea washing the shores of Eyl in Somalia has a murmur only the pirates can decipher. (Outlook India 12/08/2008)
