Piracy may be a contemporary plague, but no one realised until that it had spread to the tranquil waters of the Venice lagoon.In the early hours of Sunday, police and transport workers were involved in a waterborne chase that could have come from a Roberto Benigni comedy, as they tried to corner and board a hijacked water bus, or vaporetto.On board the vessel, which normally plies an outlying route through the delta of the river Po, was a 24-year-old Kosovan named in news agency reports as Imer Tosca.
