Pirates hijack ship off Somalia

"Several ships carrying UN food aid have been hijacked. Pirates have seized a cargo ship off the coast of Somalia, local officials have confirmed. They said the Maltese-registered ship, Pagania, was attacked late on Wednesday as it sailed from South Africa to Europe with a cargo of iron ore. The hijackers are reportedly demanding a $700,000 (£394,000) ransom for the release of the ship and its crew, all believed to be Ukrainian. More than 20 ships have been seized or attacked in the area since March. "


What Nimrod started calling these terrorist pirates? This goes back to my rant a couple days ago. Let's call black..black and white..white. Let's get real people.

These are not Pirates of the Carribean. These are terrorist attacking ships for cargo and kidnapping. A fascinating read on Somalia could become springboard for jihad shows where these incorrectly called Pirates are coming from. So get real people they are groups of terrorist from warlords out of Somalia. Another recent article here points it out......sea lanes have been taken over by ransom-seeking, ocean-going warlords, officials say.

While I am on the terrorist issue, I just heard Paris has hit 5000 cars total burned out in Paris by the unrest. The first victim died in Paris due to being beat to death. I am actually amazed only one has occurred with all the burning and ravaging the landscape. Anyone recalls the Los Angelos riots, where the black community basically burned and destroyed everything in site? This sounds similar. The sad thing is, who will be the ones hurting over this? Those living in the neighborhood being ravaged.

It is interesting to note, France is second in Jewish popluation after Israel, over there. These riots are being led primarily by Muslim.
