Portuguese Navy Frigate NRP "Alvares Cabral" Marines capture a pirate group that attacked the Spanish flagged fishing vessel "Ortube Berria" in the Indian Ocean in this NATO handout photo made available November 30, 2009. The Spanish vessel sent a distress call and managed to escape from the attack by its own means. The NATO flagship, Seychelles Patrol Boat "Andromache" and two Maritime Patrol Aircraft from the EU Task-Force also operating in the area on a counter-piracy mission were involved in the operation.
