We’ve all been reading about the issues of Pirates off the African coast. The articles from various news media have described the pirates as dangerous, the pirates as brazen, but for the first time I’ve seen the AP actually call them by title! As if they have a location and media room to hold press conferences!
Quote from article.
MOGADISHU, Somalia ? Five of the Somali pirates who released a hijacked oil-laden Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a reported $3 million ransom after their small boat capsized, a pirate and a relative of one of the dead men said Saturday.
Pirate Daud Nure said the boat with eight people on board overturned in a storm after dozens of pirates left the Sirius Star following a two-month standoff in the Gulf of Aden that ended Friday.
