Horn of Africa piracy 'netted $400m' from 2005-12

Pirates operating off the Horn of Africa netted more than $400m (£251m) in ransom money between 2005 and 2012, a new World Bank and UN report says. It says the financiers behind the piracy, and not the pirates themselves, collect most of the cash. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24783828#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
