Ship's Master arrested
As reported today on the FOX News website , the Venezeulean authorities arrested the captainof an oil tanker for having three assault rifles aboard . Chavez and his police must not read the IMB Live Piracy Report , as his ports and waters are frequently mentioned as sites of crimes , is no wonder why a vessel would be carrying weapons there .

Re: Ship's Master arrested
So much for assualt rifles. If I was going through pirate infested areas I think a couple of M3M FN Herstal MG (GAU-21)'s mounted on the bow and stern should deter the pirates, or put them where the belong....

Would tend to agree , a 3 inch 50 or 40mm twin Bofors also sound good on an emotional level , but international maritime law precludes that idea (think Kapt. Felix Von Luckner and the Seeadler ) . Nice to fantisize though . Richard C. Schmidt . |
