More pirates captured - evening up the score

The Russians are coming! A Russian anti-sub ship captured a suspected pirate boat with 29 on board. How can you tell they're pirates? The Russians also found a cache of automatic rifles, pistols, and ammo. Of course, this is Somalia. Any boat would be wise to carry a little firepower.

For anyone keeping score, the pirates are still way ahead: 25 vessels captured and 260 hostages for this year. The rest of the world: 3 vessels seized and 50 (suspected) pirates captured in the last week.
