Finally, here is the language that pirates can understand: 1 a ship. Several countries have 2 forces to patrol Somali waters in 3 to the growing number of pirate attacks on 4 . But the pirates have only become more brazen, 5 larger ships. Pirates even hijacked ( a Saudi 6 that was carrying over $100 million of oil. Nearly 100 ships were hijacked 7 the Horn of Africa in 2008. Ransoms paid to 8 the ships reached nearly $50 million. This has 9 much hand-wringing (much disappointment) in government circles, and some 10 decisions by shipping companies. Some have decided to reroute their ships all the way 11 the Cape of Good Hope. That could 12 over $250,000 to each trip, but its better for their ship and crew to be kept by pirates for some weeks. International patrols are having little 13 . Pirates responded by moving their armed attacks 14 offshore. In effect, theyve created a much larger field of play.
