Default Pirates seize ship carrying tanks, ammo

ready to meet your maker?

-------news snip---------------
Nikolsky said via a satellite phone that a Russian
sailor died Sunday due to hypertension. Other crew
members were fine though, he said adding that he
could see three ships about a mile away, including
one carrying an American flag.

Did you notice that the pirates have a spokesman (who was not available for
comment.)


Yeah, I pictured an elegant, bespectacled man in a bespoke suit
reminding some loved ones that there are only so many appendages that
can be amputated from a soul before that person retreats to the
ultimate spiritual form.


I gather the asking tariff per is in six figures so just paying them
with your FastTrak as you go by isn't really an option.
