CNN.com Report: Somali Pirates grab 50 Yemeni Fishermen

CNN.com - Report: Pirates grab 50 fishermen - Mar 7, 2006: "Saba quoted a Yemeni official as saying that Somali pirates abducted the fishermen on Monday from four boats off of Yemen's Abdul-Kori island, part of Socotra -- a small archipelago in the Indian Ocean off the Horn of Africa."

Look. Obviously this is tragic, both for the families of the fishermen and for the international community and its avowed disapproval of piracy. But I have to admit... this made me laugh. To think, that in the 21st Century we still have pirates!

What was the old saw about the "curse" of living in interesting times? Sign me up.
