Re: Pirati hostis humani generis sunt.
No change really - they have always attacked big merchant ships.. Robbed to order - no t a sort of mugging like the yacht attacks.
Somalian pirates have regularly boarded Merchant ships and headed for certain containers, opened them and taken the contents - robbing to order! they have on several occasions boarded merchant ships killed all the crew and then taken the ship to another port where the cargo is offloaded and the ship torn apart for scrap... The concept that these people are starving illiterate fishermen trying to turn a buck is erroneous. they are a highly sophisticated piracy operation... It has been going on for years.... The Mr Big's are important people with power and influence. the foot soldiers are just that ...
