Somali pirates chose to board a Chinese cargo vessel, but were greeted with they received a lot more than they had anticipated.
"The crew was armed only with only beer bottles, fire hoses and homemade incendiary bombs, when they battled against the pirates who boarded our vessel", said captain of a Chinese cargo ship, speaking proudly of the efforts of his crew to fight off Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
Chinese sailors had prepared themselves as best they could, without having access to firearms. Fully aware of the threat to shipping in the area, they faced daunting odds.
Three British ex-soldiers, early in the month, were picked up from the water, after jumping overboard, because of the intensity of the attack they found themselves under from Somali pirates.
"Around twelve hundred Chinese merchant ships passed through the gulf this year. Seven were attacked", confirmed Liu Jianchao, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
The Chinese government will join other international warships in the gulf in an effort to stem the growing tide of pirate attacks in the area. A Beijing newspaper reported that the Chinese navy was likely to send two destroyers and a supply ship to the area.
