Indian Navy Destroys Jihadi Muslim Ship http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h70oyQPz84KYLTSu6OEDkwXFSM5g Indian navy destroys pirate ship as super-tanker ransom demanded 14 hours ago MOGADISHU, Somalia (AFP) — An Indian warship destroyed a pirate "mother vessel" in the Gulf of Aden, the navy said Wednesday, as bandits demanded a ransom for a Saudi super-tanker seized in the most daring sea raid yet. The Indian frigate INS Tabar, one of dozens of warships from several countries protecting shipping lanes in the area, attacked the Somali pirate ship late Tuesday after coming under fire, navy spokesman Nirad Sinha said. The incident came as shipping groups reported a new surge in hijackings off Somalia and the International Maritime Bureau said pirates based in the lawless African nation were "out of control". "The INS Tabar closed in on the mother vessel and asked her to stop for investigation," the New Delhi navy spokesman said. "But on repeated calls, the vessel's threatening response was that she would blow up the naval warship if it approached." An exchange of fire ensued, causing explosions and the navy ship then used heavy guns. "From what we see in photographs the pirate vessel is completely destroyed," a senior officer said on condition he not be named. It was the first time a mother ship had been destroyed, in the most significant blow to pirates to date. The piracy crisis has grown since the weekend capture of the super-tanker Sirius Star. The huge vessel was carrying a full load of two million barrels of oil worth around 100 million dollars. Al-Jazeera, the Arabic satellite television channel, broadcast an audio tape it said was of one of the pirates making a ransom demand. "Negotiators are located on board the ship and on land. Once they have agreed on the ransom, it will be taken in cash to the oil tanker," said the man identified as Farah Abd Jameh, who did not indicate the amount to be paid. Vela International, owners of the ship, said it "cannot confirm, nor deny" the reports, citing the safety of the crew. Seized in the Indian Ocean some 500 miles (800 kilometres) off the African coast, the Sirius Star is now anchored at the Somali pirate lair of Harardhere, according to local officials. The super-tanker has 25 crew -- 19 from the Philippines, two from Britain, two from Poland, one Croatian and one Saudi. It was the largest ship yet taken by Somali pirates and the attack furthest away from Somalia. Pirates have hijacked three ships since capturing the Sirius Star. Andrew Mwangura, from the East African Seafarers Association, said a Thai fishing boat, a Hong Kong-registered freighter, the Delight, and a Greek bulk carrier were seized Tuesday in the Gulf of Aden. The Greek merchant marine ministry said it had no word of a Greek-flagged or Greek-owned vessel being seized but the other hijackings were confirmed. The Delight, chartered by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, was carrying 25 crew members and 36,000 tonnes of wheat when it was seized on its way to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. The shipping line's senior official Ensan Najib told IRNA news agency that no contact had been made with the ship and the hijackers. On Wednesday, pirates released another Hong Kong-flagged ship, MV Great Creation, and its 25 crew seized two months ago, Mwangura told AFP, adding it was unclear whether a ransom was paid. In southern Somalia, the hardline Islamist alliance controlling the key port of Kismayo promised tough measures to protect ships. Pirates use mother ships, generally hijacked trawlers or deep-sea dhows, to tow speedboats from which they launch their attacks with grapnel hooks tied to rope ladders before neutralising the crews at gunpoint. The Indian navy action could hamper the pirates in the Gulf of Aden but the group holding the Sirius Star operates from mother ships further south. The Gulf of Aden controls access to the Suez Canal, which allows trade between Europe and Asia without taking the longer and more expensive route around southern Africa. The European Union will launch its anti-piracy operation -- its first-ever -- off Somalia December 8 to boost warships from NATO, the United States and other nations already in the region, French Defence Minister Herve Morin said in Paris. In Washington, the White House urged joint efforts to rescue the super-tanker. Spokeswoman Dana Perino said "the goal would be to try to help get this ship to safety, secure the crew, and then work with our international partners to try to alleviate the piracy problem full stop." Speaking in Beirut, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband called piracy "a threat to trade and prosperity." Views: 379 Rating:

RC Helicopter FISHING! Dave tries hand at "Heli Fishing" For you skeptics who say the fish was dead, I assure you it wasn't dead. I didn't see one of you there either! That said, I still risked my E-Flite Blade 400 for some entertainment for you (I used 3 batteries, hence the cut) as fun and challenging for me. I doubt most others would risk their $450 heli just to hover over the water, let alone dangle a line! This scenario shows it may be possible to use the Helicopter for fishing, however it would be expensive fishing. It is always terribly windy here, so on this calm day, those simple waves in the water was of no concern to a sunfish! It also helps to have lots of fish, like in our Sand Pit Pond where they bite on hooks with no bait! (actually I used fish eggs and the hook 24" from the bobber. Hey, you never know, if you don't try! ***Caution from past experience*** If the Tail rotor hits the water even slightly, it will immediately cause a crash. Big fish can drain batteries fast. It takes and hour to charge between flights of only 6 minutes, so this could be a long process to catch a fish. Sunfish are not big fighters. Fly easy and thanks for watching. I hope you found this entertaining no matter what. Be sure to subscribe for more unique stuff from Mr. Herbert's Science Class. and yes, I'm going to try it again, so stay tuned.

Afghan Soldiers Fishing with an RPG My brother served in Afghanistan while I was in Iraq. He witnessed demonstrations of Afghani soldiers using an RPG to "fish". Another soldier did the filming and editing. You probably thought using dynamite was wild until you see these guys use an RPG at 20 meters. Awesome!!!!!

Salmon Fishing Northern California The fine taste of the King Salmon, fresh from today's catch is like no other fish. All the fishermen onboard know and the action gets a little frantic when it is time to land the beautiful fish. The waters off the coast of Northern California have been rich in the Salmon that gourmets love and that supplies valuable nutrition for the body. As a fished is hooked shouts of "fish on" are heard and the chaos of landing it often involve the skipper, mate and other fishermen. With more than one fish online at a time the action is fast and furious. When the limit of 2 fish per person the boat heads back to the harbor early "limited out" and full of happy people. The coast is beautiful and the sea mercifully and unusually calm. Views: 111129 Rating:
