How many times did Somali pirates successfully hijack vessels in 2009?
A maritime watchdog said the number of attacks off the coast of Somalia doubled in 2009 from 111 to 217. Pirates successfully hijacked 47 of those vessels and took 867 crew members hostage , earning them untold millions in ransom payments. Although the number of attacks was significantly higher, the number of successful hijackings was proportionately lower than the previous year.

In the Netherlands, thousands of people laced up their skates and headed out to skate on frozen lakes.
