The impression that I got last week was that they tried to hijack a Pakistani frigate. Someone said that they intended to attack a United States aircraft carrier and mistakenly got on the wrong ship and posted pictures of the comparative size of the two ships, implying that they were stupid. I thought - No, they planned on using the frigate’s weapons against the carrier, attacking in port when the level of alert on the carrier would be the lowest. It worked before, just ask the crew of the USS Arizona - Oh wait! They are all dead.
Yes, that was what I thought too. I suspect that this is the same event, and they’re trying to turn their loss into a propaganda event.
BTW, the first and presumably real one wasn’t reported very much in the Western press. It should have been, because ISIS lost.
Or the crew of the USS Cole.
