The Associated Press is reporting that the MSC Melody was attacked by pirates Saturday evening as the ship sailed 200 miles north of the Seychelles and 500 miles east of Somalia in the Indian Ocean. None of the 1,000 passengers or 500 crew were injured.
AP reports that all MSC cruises are manned by Israeli security agents that do carry weapons (pistols) for emergency use only.
