http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/16/world/africa/global-piracy-hits-lowest-level-since-2007-report-says.html?_r=0 Some of the reported "piracy" incidents are almost laughable however. When I clicked on the map to get details of a relatively nearby report, it turned out to be a freighter anchored at a port in the Dominican Republic. Two men boarded the ship during during the night and attempted to steal an outboard motor. Hardly the stuff of a traditional piracy attempt. |
