What: Recently, Somalian pirates attacked a North Korean Cargo Ship headed towards the Middle East. The pirates approached the ship in speed boats, firing machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
Heres the cool part: The cargo ship crew fought off the pirates by speeding up the boat and throwing fire bombs (molotov cocktails) at the pirates.
Who won: The Korean ship crew
Around the world, countries are taking steps against modern day pirates:
"In response to the growing scourge, Spain's government has agreed to allow tuna boats operating in the Indian Ocean to hire private security guards armed with high-powered rifles."
