The latest report indicated that the pirates had moved the Saudi supertanker further out to sea, in response to the incursion by the South Somalis.

There was an interesting BBC interview with one of the pirate leaders (his face was discretely blurred) in his compound ashore where he explained that they were only in it for the money and would prefer not to injure anyone. Evidently they don't need a press agent if they can keep generating statements like that.

Cheerily,
