A guy with a stick and 2 with rocket launchers don't look like the main plan was to rob a cruise ship (the smallest cruiseship holds how many people? Certainly more than 500) - if that was their intentions, they are most certainly dumber than a doorknob.

Anyhow, IMHO they were not there to rob the ship - but what do I know.

I think there were two of these boats actually. I seem to remember they hijacked some UN food relief ship a while back as well. Somalia is THE shithole of the world, no central government etc, total lawlessness. These people are not exactly educated...
