Crime pays for Somalia's pirates - 10 Oct 2008

Somali pirates are demanding an $8m ransom for the release of a Ukrainian ship they are holding off the coast of their country's northern coast.

The pirates appear to rule the seas around Somalia with impunity, while towns in Somalia's Puntland region have become the hub for many of their activities.

Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow sent this exclusive report.

If you say Somalia for Somalians... why not Europe for the Europeans? Somalis are causing lots of trouble here... that is social pollution... if it's fair that somalis attack foreign ships on the coast of somalia why shouldn't europeans attack somalis in the streets of europe? this logic is very dangerous
