Three Somali Pirates Held for Questioning by French Police

French police were questioning on Wednesday, April 15, 2009, three Somali pirates who were brought to France after being captured by commandos during a hostage rescue operation in the Indian Ocean.

Two pirates and the boat's French captain were killed during the rescue. State prosecutors in the western French city of Rennes said the Somali gunmen were being interrogated by police intelligence officers.

Defence Minister Herve Morin said on Tuesday they would face trial in France. The body of the dead skipper, 28-year-old Florent Lemacon, has also arrived in Rennes, where it is due to undergo a post mortem examination on Thursday. The prosecutors' office said results would be released on Friday April, 17, 2009
