Don't cruise Somalia in your yacht !

I read the article below and noted the Somali pirates were holding a couple they seized from their personal yacht, along with 190 other people!
I have the answer to the problem. It's called the F-16

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Somali pirates attacked an oil tanker and fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades Monday farther out at sea than any previous assault, suggesting that pirate capabilities are growing as they increase activity off East Africa.
Pirates in two skiffs fired at the Hong Kong-flagged BW Lion about 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) east of the Somali coast, the European Union Naval Force said.

The tanker's captain increased speed and took evasive maneuvers, avoiding the attack, the force said. No casualties were reported. The naval force sent a plane from the Seychelles islands to investigate.

Pirates have launched increasingly bold attacks against vessels in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden in hopes of capturing a ship and crew and collecting ransom. They currently hold more than 190 hostages, including a British couple seized from their personal yacht late last month.

The high-seas hijackings have increased after the recent end of the monsoon season despite an international armada of warships deployed by the United States, the European Union, NATO, Japan, South Korea and China to patrol the region. U.S. drones launched from nearby Seychelles are also patrolling for pirates.

Cmdr. John Harbour, a spokesman for the EU's anti-piracy force, said it wasn't immediately known whether the two skiffs Monday had launched attacks from a larger mothership. He said the work by international navies had pushed pirates out to sea.

"The international transit corridor near the coast is becoming safer, but the pirates are taking fairly drastic action, carrying out attacks so far off the coast," Harbour said. "Certainly our success to date has pushed the pirates out from their normal hunting grounds."
