Pirates Hijack Ship Off Tanzanian Coast!!


Somali pirates  are at it again! They have hijacked a cargo ship with 15 Indian crew off the coast of Tanzania, The MT Asphalt Venture was heading to Durban after unloading its cargo of bitumen at Mombasa, Kenya, when it was attacked about 110 miles (175km) south-east of Dar es Salaam.Ecoterra International said the vessel turned around and began heading towards the Somali port of Harardhere.
The ship is owned by United Arab Emirates company Bitumen Invest."Information from the ground says a pirate group... had captured the vessel and is heading towards Harardhere at the central Somali Indian Ocean coast," Ecoterra said in a statementsource 
There have been four pirate attacks off the Tanzanian coast in the past week as I'm hearing, something has to be done about these Pirates!! The waters arent safe anymore and if that is so how are traders supposed to trade in this condition...since its an African matter..I wonder if they discussed how they were gonna shoot em down in the AU, i havent been following on who planned what (crickets) is everyone expecting them to die of natural deaths?
Somali pirates sit in the dock at the Mombasa Law Courts in Mombasa, Kenya on September 23, 2010. Jis look at em..Uggghhhh make wanna hit somebody
But When are they Gona STop?!
