Pirates attempt hijack of another US ship off Somalia coastPirate vessel fires rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons
Peter Walker and agencies

Pirates fired rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons at an American ship carrying humanitarian aid off the coast of Somalia in the fifth attack on a commercial vessel since the US Navy's rescue of a captured freighter captain.

The MV Liberty Sun was today heading to Kenya with a US Navy escort after the pirates' unsuccessful attempt to seize the cargo vessel and its 20-strong American crew, none of whom were reported injured.

"We are under attack by pirates, we are being hit by rockets. Also bullets," one crewman, 26-year-old Thomas Urbik, wrote in an email to his mother. "We are barricaded in the engine room and so far no one is hurt. [A] rocket penetrated the bulkhead but the hole is small. Small fire, too, but put out."

Ah my dear Rangers! You must remember the U.S. has to be civilized. What a load of crap! Let's let a bunch of no account pirates hold off the U. S. Navy in a life boat! OMG. Unbelievable.
