We seem to be seeing a lot of these stories anymore:

A Hong Kong cargo ship loaded with 36,000 tonnes of wheat bound for Iran was hijacked on Tuesday by pirates in the Gulf of Aden, near the Yemeni coast.

The latest example of piracy came as a Saudi supertanker, seized by pirates on Monday and laden with an estimated 2m barrels of oil, was confirmed to be anchored off the coast of Somalia.

And to make matters even more interesting, Saudi Arabia is now calling these pirates terrorists, in hope to get some international help.
