#4 While 81 piracy cases seems high, it is not considering the heavy traffic in this sea lane. I'm wondering if these are selectivly chosen, as a Danish ship Bahamian flagged and heading to Asia wouldn't normally raise any flags, but the Russian crew just departing from the Middle East may easily have illicit cargo. The chances of pirates "accidently" intercepting Russian weapons and Iranian WMD's within months of each other seems curious to me.
