Photo taken on January 4, 2010 shows armed Somali pirates carrying out preparations to a skiff in Hobyo, northeastern Somalia, ahead of new attacks on ships sailing in the Gulf of Aden. Greek cargo ship, MV Filitsa, is anchored just off the shores of Hobyo where it is held by pirates with its crew of 22, including three Greek officers and 19 Filipinos, after being captured some 513 nautical miles northeast of the Seychelles while sailing from Kuwait to Durban in South Africa loaded with fertilizer.
