It hasn't increased per se - it's just moved. The US and other nations have ships patrolling the Gulf of Aden, so the pirates have simply moved further away from the Gulf. The original US vessel was captured like 300 miles off the coast of Somalia. The area the pirates infest is something like 1,000,000 square miles, making patrol pretty much impossible.

Right....

because there were a lot of reports of pirate activity last year in that area and other parts of coastal Africa

A friend of mine was suggesting a trip to Seychelles (which I believe isn't too far from that same area) to me and some friends of mine for getaway, homeymoon etc...BUT THEN that next week, there was a report of a hijacked boat right off the coast. Heh....

Not going!! HEHE!!!

Sticking to my original plan and going to Cairo.
