Line Of Action And Procedures Used By Sea Pirates

   Extremely capable fishermen of Somalia equipped with the latest sea telecommunication system Somalisn pirates are aboard a large boat (mother ship) and float slowly in the darkness of night. As soon as any cargo ship or a big passenger boat enters in the Somalian sea, the mother ship forwards steadily to its prey.  When the ship of pirates approaches the cargo ship , they posing themselves to be fishermen send signals for help or they stage drama to be hungry or thirsty or betrayed from the path.  The ship staff either stops to help them or sends smaller boats loaded with food item along with some people to help them. As the the helper boat comes nearer to pirates they make hostages the staff of the boat and force the ship to travel on the route they order for. If the ship intends to run, the pirates put their speedy boats hidden on  the mother ship , in the sea and cordon off the ship.  At this time they have modern weapons in hands like rocket launchers, missiles or hand grenades those are enough to make a ship sink, so the ship staff is forced to follow them.
   The other method to capture the ship they use is that they patrol in the sea in speedy and modern boats at a distance from each other but they have contact with each other, as they see any ship approaching them, they spread around the ship and take control by threatening the crew.  The pirates are expert in latest telecommunication technology. They send mis guided signals to the ships in the vicinity of African horn, and make them strayed from the right path and come towards them. They use other tactics like after capturing any big ship, which they use as mother ship, they force the captain of the ship to send messages to nearby ship about their technical fault in the ship. In this way they made hostage the MV Suez on August 02, 2010 (in which Pakistani sailors were aboard), and making it mother ship they caught hold of Iranian ship MV Glory. The pirates now use the most modern weapons and technology. They have modern satellite boats, satellite phones, GP system, Maritime radio System, automatic rifles, Kalashnikoves, hand grenades, daggers, anti-tank missiles, and rocket launchers. They have a large number of trained fighters.  .
