#1 PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > [INTERTANKO Group] SOMALI PIRACY A THREAT TO "GLOBAL OIL SUPPLIES".

ARTIC > Recently captured, Greek-flagged "IRENE L" oil tanker represented up to 20% OF AMER'S CRUDE OIL IMPORTS FOR ONE DAY. The Somali Bad Boyz are also believed to had converted TWENTY-OR-MORE CAPTURED VESSELS INTO "MOTHER SHIPS" [afloat = ocean-going Bases] FOR FUTURE ATTACKS.

IIRC INDIA > Govt. Officials were complaining about how the offshore attacks = pirate operations of the Somali Boyz are getting closer to India's Western coastline, wid the Pirates presently oper widin a roughly 300-PLUS KMS ARC OFF INDIA FROM SOMALIA, + LIKELY TO COME CLOSER STILL IN FUTURE.

#2 The two Yemeni hostages, who apparently had been put to work on the ship

You misspelled Slaves.

It added a task force determined there were no sufficient grounds to prosecute the suspected Somali pirates, who were brought back to land early Sunday.

WTF?

In that case there's no need to return them to shore either - throw them off the ship and let them fend for themselves without their slaves.
