Thai ship owner claims Indian navy sank his vessel
In a twist of events, a Thai ship owner has claimed that the Indian navy had sunk his vessel in the Gulf of Aden last week instead of a pirate ship as claimed by Indian authorities.
The Indian navy sank a suspected pirate ``mother ship'' and chased two attack boats into the night, officials said Wednesday, as the owners of a seized Saudi supertanker negotiated for the release of their vessel and its cargo of two million barrels of crude.
