Anger fuels return of ship attacks Locals say pirate attacks will continue and blame the government in Puntland for granting foreigners fishing permits.

Somali forces have been sent to try to free the tanker.

But locals say the attacks will continue and blame their government in the semi-autonomous Puntland region for granting foreigners permits to fish in Somali waters. “Since the fish are drained by foreigners, my colleagues plan to go into the ocean to hijack other ships. We have no government to speak on our behalf,” said fisherman Mohamed Ismail.
