There was another incident last week where the ill equiped pirates attached a passenger cruiseship this time on the east african coast,I say ill equiped because of the type of boats they have which they are even putting in danger for themselves,because they are such a small boats fishing type,the ship crew almost succeded turning them over by creating bigger waves,Piracy used to be a common occurence in the Indonisian-Malaysian waters where they usually attach big vesels who carry goods for big companies,but attaching a passenger ship is unheard of,it seems these guys fired indiscremenetly without nowing who is in the ship,I think it's time Somalis not to harbour them and not to treat them as heroes but see them as normal every day pick pockets/thieves and see them as law breakers who should be punished,I know their excuse is that they are making their daily living and that they have no ather way of earning money because of the civil which unfortunately the international community ignored the last 15 years while Somalis sloughtered each ather and it seems now it's becoming international problem because the world is a such a small place and if you ignore one problem in one corner it's going have an effect on you sooner or later.
