92 attacks this year
36 successful hijackings
14 ships currently held, including the MV Faina carrying tanks
268 crew held hostage
Been trying to follow what's been happening with the 30 tanks (and other weapons)...but it has gone strangely quiet on that front. Pretty sure that means that some warlord or other has managed to get some new toys.
Talk about the real pirates of the Caribbean back in the times, these Somalis are way ahead. To Hijack a 100 million $ worth supertanker with oil is extreme.
I'm thinking which movie company will make a film about this first. Johnny Depp needs to pack up and close.
