    Korea to Send Warships to Somalia
    Posted : 2008-10-29 18:25
    Updated : 2008-10-29 18:25
    South Korea is expected to dispatch a squadron of Navy ships to waters off Somalia in a bid to protect its fishing and cargo ships from piracy, according to a source Wednesday.

    ``A consensus was reached for the dispatch of the Navy ships but the final decision will be made through an inter-government meeting,'' he added.

    The plan came about as Korean sailors and ships have frequently been the target of attacks from pirates off the coast of Somalia.
