Pirates attempted to hijack at least three cargo ships off the southern Somalia coast Sunday (3/22). Noel Choong, who heads the International Maritime Bureau's piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur, told the AP that the attacks took place about 500 nautical miles from the coast. According to Choong, it appears that the same pirate group attacked the Hong Kong, Greek, and Japanese vessels. According to our count (see Somalia Piracy Timeline) there hasn't been a pirate attack this far south since last December.
