Cruise ship fends off pirate attack with gunfire

NAIROBI, Kenya – The small white skiff approached the Italian cruise ship Melody after dinnertime as it sailed north of the Seychelles, the pirates firing wildly toward the 1,500 passengers and crew on board.

What the pirates didn't expect was that, in the darkness, the crew would fire back.

In a new twist to the increasing scourge of Somali pirate hijackings, the private Israeli security forces aboard the MSC Cruises ocean liner fired on the pirates Saturday with pistols and water hoses, preventing them from clambering aboard, the company's director Domenico Pellegrino said.

linky dinky ahoy

I thought when zero took office everything was going to be roses, sunshine, and rainbows. Maybe the pirates haven't gotten their ponies yet either and are trying to find them.

Poor pirates. They are soooo peaceful, and now people are shooting back.
If only people would understand. They only want to hold you hostage for MILLIONS of dollars.
Why if you're nice they won't shoot or beat you, and they'll even roast a goat for you.
