NATO urges African lead on piracy

(01:53) Report

Nov 20 - Alliance chief Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says NATO is committed to helping improve security but expects African states to take the lead in fighting high seas piracy.

There's no shortage of unilateral proposals being made to fight the pirates. But nothing on a coordinated global basis as yet.

The Somalia-based pirates have become increasingly active, now holding at least 13 vessels with more than 270 crew.
