As if one NUCLEAR tsunami was not enough.... Southeast Asia Apr 9, 2005 Pirates mock Malacca Strait security By Ioannis Gatsiounis [...] The same could not be said last April, when US Admiral Thomas Fargo announced that the United States was considering deploying special forces on high-speed vessels along the Malacca Strait to compensate for some of the littoral states' seeming nonchalance toward safeguarding against a terrorist incident. The Malaysian government vociferously rejected the offer. In light of the recent attacks, a Western diplomat treaded carefully on the question of whether the US government would make a stronger push to assist in strait security. "Ideally [the littoral states] will begin to cooperate more closely with each other," said the diplomat, who claimed the surge in attacks was not necessarily cause to sound alarm bells: "Pirate attacks are kind of cyclical in nature." But clearly the international community is watching the developments in the strait very closely, if only from a different angle than the littoral states. atimes.com
