PIRATES!

yes, there are still pirates in today's world. Now they have rocket launchers.

"The narrow Malacca Strait between Indonesia and Malaysia is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and has long been a haunt of pirates. Some 37 acts of piracy were recorded there last year"

I was getting all excited because it was just plain piracy... but no, someone had to bring up the "T" word.

"If this is a terrorist attack it will have severe consequences on the security of the ports in the region,"

ARRRRRRGH!

I was hoping to encounter some pirates while island hopping in Thailand, because evidently they frequent the Gulf of Thailand quite a bit. But alas, I never saw a one. That would have made a great flickr post though....you know, had I not died.
