Later in the day, Lloyd's List has an article stating the same things I said (Ok, this is NOT rocket science).
Maritime security sources stressed that while owners should not rush to get trigger happy, they need to be aware that simple three-man squads equipped only with non-lethal equipment were no longer enough to counter increasingly sophisticated and brazen pirate tactics.
But what really caught my eye was this
The commander of French frigate Nivose Jean-Marc Le Quilliec told Agence France Presse that the attack was mounted by five Somalians in a fishing boat. He said the three security guards jumped overboard and were subsequently picked up by a German helicopter.
It just seems fishy to me. Especially in light of recent comment by pirates that they are tipped off.
