Do they plan to crash it into a skyscraper? Honestly, snagging a trawler ain't a really big deal for anyone not on that trawler. Pirates account for hundreds of such ships each year.

It may be time for another bandit-clearing operation in the Russian republic of Chechnya.

Do they plan to crash it into a skyscraper? No, they hope to cause an environmental catastrophe by dumping its cargo into the ocean.

I would imagine the Russians will not let it get near anything that it could cause a lot of damage to. Surely
they have military headed to meet it

It doesn't sound like the "known terrorists" are the smartest animals in the barnyard. If they don't have a quick plan here, they're toast.
I wonder what they're up to.

Given than the terrorists seized a Russian trawler, the only logical outcome is more dead terrorists.
