Italian, Turkish ships escape attacks: "An officer says the ship had private Israeli security forces aboard. They exchanged fire with the bandits and drove them away.
The commander tells Italian state radio that attackers were six gunmen in a small white speedboat. A statement says that none of the passengers and crew was hurt.
There's also been a pirate attack targeting a Turkish ship near Yemen. The ship with two British and four Japanese crew board apparently escaped."
Then this attack thwarted, both this weekend
Israeli guards fight off Somali pirates: "Israeli private security guards on Saturday night thwarted an attack on an Italian cruise ship by Somali pirates.
As the ship sailed far off the coast of Somalia, a small white boat carrying six heavily armed men approached and opened fire. The cruise ship's 1,000 passengers and 500 crew members immediately took cover, and the Israeli security team took over, returning heavy fire at the pirates.
Stunned by the resistance, the pirates made a hasty retreat back to shore. It was one of the first pirate attacks in which a nonmilitary ship fought back.
The cruise line later released a statement saying it hired the Israelis because they are the best trained private security guards it could find."
Between the pirates and the swine flu do we stand a chance with that man as POTUS? OMG! This is one time Ray you might as well not answer - I know it is the same redundant question we have all been asking ourselves. My God!
