Egyptian navy ship attacked-from BBC
Gunmen have attacked an Egyptian navy ship in the Mediterranean Sea, state media say, leaving five servicemen injured and eight more missing at sea.

The vessel reportedly caught fire in the assault, some 70km (45 miles) off the northern port of Damietta.

"Four fishing boats were used in the assault by "terrorists", four of whom were killed, the military said.
Another 32 were arrested and were being interrogated, it added."

I think those 32 are in a rough neighborhood about now as well.
