Somalia pirate peril is widened with new hijack

Link to Article

Pirates seized three Thai ships and 77 crew 1,200 miles off Somalia in their most distant hijack yet.

They aim to evade navy patrols by operating into the Indian Ocean as far as the Seychelles and Maldives.

Gangs have demanded a £1.3million ransom for Brits Paul and Rachel Chandler, kidnapped last October.
