Sat, Jan 8, 2005 5:34 AM

This is the Office of Naval Intelligence report of Anti Shipping activity,
for the last month.
Nigeria and Aden were the locations of most frequent reports. A there are
at least 2 against yachts, near Aden. Note that in at least one yacht
incident the yacht was soon escorted by an armed aircraft and the attackers
fled.The Straits of Mallaca had only one report. Possibly due to stepped up
patrols. Emphasis should be placed on having current information as this
report tends to indicate.
