Pirates kidnap 3 Danish children, 4 adults in Indian Ocean

[Hush]

Want coffee with them Danish? Ok, sick joke.

The Danish Foreign Ministry says the youths, ages 12 to 16, were seized along with their parents and two others on board a sailing vessel. It's believed to be the first time that children have been victims of pirates in the recent spate of hostage-taking off eastern Africa.

Are there any private security organizations that are accepting volunteers for "pirate" contracts? Most of the Xe entries have requirements for previous military experience and secret clearance, so I doubt that they would be associated with these miscreants. I had asthma after the age of 13, so .mil is out for me.

I do want to have the chance to exchange fire with Somali pirates one day. I won't go on an emotional literary rampage, but suffice to say that if I had my chance they would pay with gallons of their diseased blood for taking children of any nationality as hostage.

The danish shipping companies have had several hostage takings in the area, there are some very experienced negotiators working on it...
