Terror for 1,200 Britons as Somali pirates with rocket launchers attack cruise ship | Mail Online: "More than 1,200 British holidaymakers on a round-the-world cruise came under a terrifying attack from pirates armed with rocket launchers.
The 715ft-long Balmoral came under fire four times from Somali bandits, a crew member said.
The 43,000-ton cruise ship was forced to zigzag violently to evade its pursuers as the pirates gave chase in two small craft in the notoriously dangerous waters off Somalia.
One crew member said in e-mails to her boyfriend back in Britain that the pirates circled the ship and came within 400 yards of the cruise ship, The Sun reported."
