Video from Russia about the Faina


Rico says they try and imitate CNN, but it still looks like amateur video...
But, according to CNN, it looks like the immediate crisis has passed, and they're still negotiating for the release of the ship, down from twenty million to eight:
The Faina is one of 29 ships hijacked this year off the African coast. The latest is a Philippine bulk carrier seized in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday with a crew of 21, Noel Choong of the International Maritime Bureau said from his base in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Choong said the Philippines-operated ship, flying a Panamanian flag, had been sailing from the Middle East to Asia when it was seized. He said 11 of the hijacked ships remain in the hands of pirates, along with more than 200 crew members.
Rico says we need a SEAL team or two to take these guys out, or a Q-ship operation like in my book...
