Fishermen capture pirates who first captured them!
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Using machetes and guns, the men fought a desperate battle to take control of two boats off the Somali coast. But this time, it wasn't pirates who launched the attack — it was Egyptian fishermen who had been held hostage for four months and who killed two brigands and took others captive as they regained control of their vessels.
On Friday, the roughly three dozen newly liberated fishermen sailed toward home.

The fishermen have some eight pirates locked in a room on the ship, and are taking them home with them to Egypt to be tried!
How cool is that?
Too darned bad
a couple of the pirates got killed in the process of capturing the other eight.

Last SA cruise season the MSC Melody was attacked by these pirates. There was a British Naval Officer on board who used the Captains gun and shot them! YAY!

The Japanese are firm believers in "open seas" and often over fish the areas that they go to. What began as self preservation unfortunately degenerated into full blown piracy.

It's about time there was an uprising against the pirates. Maybe this will encourage others to fight back.
