Summary: Again. The Somalian pirates has try to hijack another cargo. The cargo had a Panamanian flag on it. But this time the Somalian pirates couldn't enter or hijack it because of the private security the Panamanian cargo boat had. The security fired when the pirates tried to attack the boat. The EU naval force was called for help. They detained 6 suspects and a pirate was killed by the fire.

Opinion: We believe that the Naval force of the world should put some security there, in the area of the Somalian pirates passage. We think this news is important because it show also that the naval force is also strong enough to defeat the pirates. The pirates should be careful with who they fight against. The boats should carry private security inside the boat as the cargo ship.
