Pirates have seized a 1000 ft long super tanker carrying grain off the coast of Somali. This is despite numerous ships from various navies nearby who were there patrolling for pirates under a UN mandate.
How did the pirates get past the UN naval ships? Uh...they figured out were the UN mandate ended, and attacked the ship outside the area where they were allowed to patrol.
This is the 7th ship in 12 days seized.
