Technology sets sights on piracy
The hijacking of giant Saudi oil tanker - Sirius Star - has focused the world's attention on piracy. In the past five years, the number of piracy attacks world-wide have fallen by almost 50%, from 452 incidents in 2003 to 282 in 2007. But it is a different story off the coast of Somalia; pirate attacks have increased by 100% in the past year. The Sirius Star is the biggest tanker ever to be hijacked, with a cargo of 2m barrels of oil worth more than $100m.
