Ship sunk by Indian Navy was Thai fishing trawler: IMBBy: V.Muthuswami | Wednesday , 26 Nov '08 16:41:05 PM Reply | Forward This is typical of many (false) Indian claims to "doing great" even before proper verification. Nonetheless, see what a mature Choong says: "We are sad by the incident and it is unfortunate," Choong said and hoped that the incident will not affect anti-piracy operation by the multi-coalition navies there.

Ship sunk by Indian Navy was a Thai trawler!By: Tapan Bose( Flt.Lt.IAF-Retd.) | Wednesday , 26 Nov '08 14:19:41 PM Reply | Forward How was the Navy ship to know that the trawler was a Thai trawler? The naval sailors GENUINELY thought it was a Somali pirate boat. Mistakes like this happen in the " fog of war"!! This will make countries take notice
