Updated
Piracy is once again rearing its ugly head with the International Maritime Bureau describing the situation in the Gulf of Aden as out of control.
Audacious attacks by Somali pirates on international shipping have sparked concerns of copycat raids in Asia, a region long notorious for piracy and maritime crime.
