The Gulf of Aden on the Somali coast is of course notorious for it's pirates on speed boats armed with automatic weapons. While watching the news, I must admit that I find it incredible that these pirates haven't been dealt with up to now, if you consider the fact that various powerful countries' ships have fallen prey to them, including a couple of United Nations vessels.
Don't tell me the world is unable to secure one of the busiest shipping lanes, such a vital one between East and West. Currently an Iranian vessel which had been hijacked by pirates is in the news.

If it is in fact so that these pirates have died strangely, it would be interesting to know what cargo is on that ship. However, taking into consideration the war drums the West have been beating with regard to Iran, I wouldn't be surprised if this is another made up lie to support the notion that Iran is a rogue nation and a threat that needs to be dealt with.
