Information
has gloss	eng: \| \|} MV Liberty Sun is a ship unsuccessfully attacked by Somali pirates on 14 April 2009. After unloading food aid at Port Sudan, she was proceeding to Mombasa with humanitarian aid, when she was attacked by pirates armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. After successfully avoiding being boarded, she was assisted by USS Bainbridge. The French frigate Nivôse captured 11 of the pirates who had attacked Liberty Sun. One of the pirates, Abdi Garad, told AFP news agency they had intended to destroy the ship and its crew. "The aim of this attack was totally different. We were not after a ransom. We also assigned a team with special equipment to chase and destroy any ship flying the American flag in retaliation for the brutal killing of our friends."
