Naval forces from several countries were searching Tuesday for a British couple and their missing yacht, which may have been hijacked by pirates off the coast of Africa, military sources told CNN. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?a=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?d=7Q72WNTAKBA (http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?a=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:7Q72WNTAKBA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?i=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:V_sGLiPBpWU (http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?a=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:V_sGLiPBpWU) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?a=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:qj6IDK7rITs) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?i=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:gIN9vFwOqvQ (http://rss.cnn.com/~ff/rss/cnn_world?a=TQUds6SBeSU:jcLgQGYwkTY:gIN9vFwOqvQ)

From January 1 until September 30, pirates worldwide mounted 306 attacks, compared with 293 in all of 2008, it said. More than half of this year's attacks were carried out by suspected Somali pirates off the east coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden, a major shipping route between Yemen and Somalia.

Out of those attacks, Somali pirates successfully hijacked 32 vessels and took 533 hostages. Eight people were wounded, four were killed and one is missing, the bureau said.

Shoot. I will never go around east coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden.

I'd have to agree... I mean, these people have to know atleast SOMETHING is going to happen.

Exactly. I know if I go anywhere, I always do a background check on the place. Especially if going out to sea. I suppose some people just think they'll live no matter what happens. Until those *******s luck turns to shat.
