Pirates hijack Indian vessel off coast of Somalia
By Abdiqani Hassan BOSASSO, Somalia (Reuters) - Pirates have hijacked an Indian commercial vessel off the coast of Somalia, the second attack in weeks after years without such seizures, industry and security sources said on Monday. United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), which coordinates shipping in the Gulf of Aden area, said it had received information that a dhow had been hijacked "in the vicinity of Socotra (Island)". It named the vessel as Al Kausar and said it had been en route from Dubai to the port of Bosasso in northern Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region.
Repeat offender who killed New York policeman sentenced to life
By Laila Kearney NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York City man was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Monday for gunning down a police officer in 2015, a murder that particularly incensed city officials, who said the repeat offender should have been in jail at the time of the killing. Tyrone Howard, 32, was convicted of killing Officer Randolph Holder, a crime that took place soon after Howard was sentenced to treatment on a drug charge despite a long history of offenses. "The shooting of a New York City police officer is in many ways an attack on the entire community," Judge Michael Obus said before handing down the sentence to Howard, whom he described as an "extremely dangerous individual." Howard declined to address the courtroom during the hearing.
