Dead Pirates!

Somalia: After 3 Months, Ship's Crew Turns Tables on Pirate Captors

New York Times

Crew members of a Libyan-owned cargo ship, MV Rim, pounced on their six sleeping Somali captors Wednesday, disarmed the pirates, killed five, took the other hostage and regained control of the vessel, hijacked almost three months earlier, officials said. A crew member was seriously injured in the struggle, the European Union’s anti-piracy naval force said. The force said the closest warship, SPS Victoria, was dispatched to provide medical assistance to the 4,800-ton cargo vessel, anchored near the Garacad coastal district of Somalia.
