Somali Pirates, American Merchant Ship Hijacking
An American-flagged merchant ship was captured by Somali pirates 320 miles offshore, marking a significant escalation in maritime hijackings. Mimi Dvorak joins the discussion to note that pirates are now using GPS technology to locate targets further out at sea. The conversation shifts to the root causes of piracy, including illegal fishing by foreign fleets and the dumping of toxic waste in Somali waters.
