Armed pirates hijacked a Japanese-operated tanker and an Iranian ship off Somalia's coast Thursday, the latest in a series of attacks that have sent jitters among seafarers in an area known for its lawlessness.

This is just terrifying. It also makes me wonder where these pirates think they are going with two huge ships. It must be really easy to catch them or am I missing something here?

Pirates attempted to do the same thing a few months ago to a Cruise ship, unsuccessfully thanks to "Less Than Leathel" sound guns. Sounds like a good investment in these waters.
