its about time some warship took some action against those crazy pirates
I feel soo sorry for the 300 hostages they took. I hope those foolish pirates are smart enough to keep those hostages alive.
Hopefully the armada of European war ships will be there soon to end this madness.
These pirate activities are on increase. The pirates are usually from underdeveloped countries with rising poverty and unemployment. Their economic conditions force them to join underworld mafias or gangs.
Such a shameful criminal act…reminds me of various air planes’ hijacks. The demand of the pirates should not be fulfilled.
