The Somali technique for immigrants? (shift)

(BRUSSELS2) For the Italian Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defence, the waves of immigration observed in Italian and Maltese waters are not the work solely of isolated people or "small" smugglers but of structured, well-organized networks , who use industrial methods to bring their "merchandise" - men, women and children - to the shores of Lampedusa or Malta.

Witness, underline the Italians, the use of large boats, mother ships, which drag smaller boats in tow. " A few tens of miles from the coast, the traffickers cut the moorings and push the boats loaded with migrants towards the coast says a diplomat. " They are armed and do not hesitate, if necessary, to fire. »

A method that symptomatically resembles that used by pirates off the coast of Somalia. The difference is that here, it's not about attacking merchant ships to take hostages. The "hostages" are already on board and are consenting even though they know they risk death.
