Pirates strike again
On Saturday, Somalian pirates struck again. This time they struck twice. First they attempted to attack a UK cargo ship that was being protected by NATO forces. This attempt was quickly thwarted and the pirates left to attack again. This time they attacked a British bulk-carrier, the MV Ariana. The Ariana was carrying over 35,000 tons of soya, and was traveling about 287 miles off the coast of Seychelles when it was seized. As far as NATO knows the Ukrainian crew members were unharmed, and NATO will not release any information regarding a ransom.

I think that the pirates aren't very smart. They attack ships that are heavily armed and they think they can win? They are a bunch of teenagers and men that have no education and think that they can tangle with with American Forces? I think that they should capture more of them and hold them in captivity till we have enough so that they can't do anything anymore without any leadership.
