Pirates board a luxury yacht and hold it hostage...

Pirates... Arrrggh!!!

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- France has made contact with pirates who hijacked a French luxury yacht off Africa's eastern coast with 30 crew members on board, the French foreign minister said Sunday

About 10 suspected pirates stormed the 288-foot Le Ponant on Friday as it was returning, without passengers, from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. The pirates then guided the vessel down Somalia's eastern coast.

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, especially along the African coast where warlords and third world hellholes are the norm.

It does. Hardly a ship goes thru that ocean without getting stopped or paying a huge ransom. THey are warned to stay far away from the African coast but don't.

I wondered why we hadn't heard from Ashland in a while. I guess he can't get a good internet connection in Somalia.
