  What I wonder is this: when the so-called pirates originate from fishermen 
pushed aside by industrial fishing by foreign nations, why do we never hear 
of a foreign fishing boat or fish factory being captured by the Somalis? 

   Do these not operate in the Gulf of Aden, in front of the coast of Puntland, 
i.e. the former British colony Somaliland, from where most of the "pirates" are 
said to come from? Have they withdrawn because the fishing grounds are 
depleted? Are they themselves too heavily armed? 

   There is an open question here.
