Somali pirates guided by London intelligence team, report says.

Document obtained by Spanish radio station says ‘well-placed informers’ in constant contact by satellite telephone. Giles Tremlett in Madrid

(...) This enables the more organised pirate groups to study their targets in advance, even spending several days training teams for specific hijacks. Senior pirates then join the vessel once it has been sailed close to Somalia

(...) with British vessels being increasingly avoided, according to the report. It was not clear whether this was because pirates did not want to draw the attention of British police to their information sources in London..
