A special court to try suspected pirates has opened in the Kenyan port of Mombasa, funded by international donors.

Pirates based in neighbouring Somalia have made the Gulf of Aden one of the world's most dangerous shipping lanes.

Warships from several world powers now patrol the Indian Ocean but there has been confusion about where those arrested should face justice.

Some 100 suspects are in Kenya and 18 pirates have already been convicted.

Earlier this year, Kenya said it would stop prosecuting piracy cases unless other countries agreed to share the "burden".

Several suspected pirates detained by naval patrols on the high seas were released because of a lack of clarity about where and how to prosecute them.
