Pirates attack fishermen
Sixteen fishermen remained missing Tuesday off Bangladesh's southern coast after pirates attacked their vessel last week, survivors and the boat's owner said.
Eighteen fishermen were assaulted in the Bay of Bengal by a band of 25-30 pirates Friday, said fishermen Shahidullah and Abdur Rahim. Shahidullah like many Bangladeshis uses only one name.
