Pirates have seized a Greek ship off Somalia. The China-bound vessel manned by a 23-member predominantly Philippino crew, was carrying metal from Ukraine. On Tuesday, a Bulgarian chemical tanker was hijacked in the same area. Last year alone, the pirates attacked more than 200 ships. Somalia, which split into several mini-states in 1991, has been unable to fight piracy on its own.
