An Indian navy ship has destroyed a suspected Somali pirate vessel after it came under attack in the Gulf of Aden, according to BBC News. The BBC website also carries a report describing how piracy is hurting India.
And the Somali pirates’ side of the story is here: “We don’t consider ourselves sea bandits. (…) We consider sea bandits those who illegally fish in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas. We are simply patrolling our seas. Think of us like a coast guard.”
But the other side of the story leads to yet another question: who is actually cashing in on a successful hijacking? Where’s their accountancy’s phone number?
