Somali pirates have nabbed their biggest prize yet -- a Saudi-owned supertanker, about as big as an aircraft carrier. The ocean-going hijackers managed to pull off this latest assault, on the Sirius Star, despite a swarm of international warships now working to ward off such strikes.
Two observations...
First, anyone else thinking of The Devil's Alternative from Frederick Forsyth? Y'know, when the Ukranian nationalists hijack a supertanker off of the Netherlands?
Second, who else out there votes that we sic Ffolkes on them? ->
