Pirate still exist,they replaced the old boats with new ones, are armed with sophisticated weapons and high tech equipments! and still look for money and demand ransoms to be payed to free the vessels.
The latest Pirates catch was a Danish vessel that was freed today after Denmark paid a ransom to the Pirates! The pirates held the ship since early June and were briefly chased and fired at by a US Ship that stopped the pursuit when the ship entered Somali waters.
