Somali Pirates Visit Davy Jones’s Locker

It is sweet because it is fitting.

Five of the pirates who hijacked a Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a $3 million ransom, a relative said Saturday, the day after the bundle of cash was apparently dropped by parachute onto the deck of the ship.

The drowned pirates’ boat overturned in rough seas, and family members were still looking for four missing bodies, said Daud Nure, another pirate who knew the men involved.

Abukar Haji, uncle of one of the dead pirates, blamed the naval surveillance for the accident that killed his pirate nephew Saturday.

“The boat the pirates were traveling in capsized because it was running at high speed because the pirates were afraid of an attack from the warships patrolling around,” he said.

“There has been human and monetary loss but what makes us feel sad is that we don’t still have the dead bodies of our relatives. Four are still missing and one washed up on the shore.”

Just desserts indeed.  Five gone and how many to go.

Dangerous business.

I wonder how many innocent people (not talking pirates) have died in Somalia.  Many multiples of those that have died in Gaza.  Where is the uproar?  Doesn’t Sarkozy care about those lives?

I have a feeling theres going to be a concerted effort to rid the world of these pirates they had better take what they have gotten and take a long vacation that would be the smart thing to do . Russia is po’ed about it and so is the Saudis,The USA is also getting on board and we will be fighting the war of 1812 all over again . We should have eliminated them all back then, that way we would not have to do it again now.

yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!, Davey Jones had better buy some more lockers.

They should have put a nerve gas cylinder in the ransom bag.
