US expresses concern about maritime piracy

DUBAI - The United States has expressed concern about rising maritime piracy in the region and the damage these attacks wreak on the already fragile, political, social, economic and humanitarian situation in eastern Africa. In an interview to Khaleej Times, Donna L. Hopkins, Coordinator of Counter Piracy and Maritime Security at the Bureau of Political Military Affairs, US Department of State, said deployment of more naval vessels would not solve the problem, which now reaches the Arabian Sea.
