    Pirates Again!

    Pirates again attack US-flagged Maersk Alabama
    (AP) – 31 minutes ago
    NAIROBI, Kenya — The EU's anti-piracy force says that Somali pirates have again attacked the Maersk Alabama, the U.S.-flagged ship hijacked last spring.
    The EU Naval Force says pirates fired automatic weapons at the ship, but that guards on board the craft fired back and thwarted Tuesday's attack.
    The vessel was previously hijacked in April. Pirates took American ship captain Richard Phillips hostage and held him at gunpoint in a lifeboat for five days.
    Navy SEAL sharpshooters freed Phillips while killing three pirates in a daring nighttime attack.
    Cmdr. John Harbour, a spokesman for the EU Naval Force, says it's pure chance the Maersk Alabama was attacked a second time. He says every ship sailing off East Africa is at risk from pirates.

    The attacks are really picking up, I have been reading the security reports for a couple of months now. Baad JUJU, for sure! I am in the South China Sea now, and will be heading to Africa via the Straits of Malaca, I guess I need to make some potato cannons

    I think we need to make statement, put a decoy ship out there filled with our great military, when a pirate comes up on it firing upon it, blow them out of the water, do that a few times and the pirates may start thinking twice, if not then at least our miltary gets some good target practice

    These pirates must have a command center, I beleive its one of the hijack ships, blow that out of the water...Hell blow up the whole country...............

    Put a helo in the middle of some containers. When they come to attack dispatch the helo to the mothership. Let the helo give them them all of it's ordnance Then shoot the dingy out from under the skinny bastards let the sharks eat them alive!!!!
