Arrgghh!

Brock Vergakis has an article in The Seattle Times about piracy:
A Somali man that federal prosecutors say was the chief negotiator for a group of pirates who took four Americans hostage, and later killed them, has been indicted on piracy and kidnapping charges.
Mohammad Saaili Shibin was scheduled to make a court appearance in Norfolk. The United States Attorney's Office says he's the first suspected pirate the U.S. has apprehended in Somalia. Thirteen Somalis and a man from Yemen pleaded not guilty last month to piracy, kidnapping, and firearms charges related to the same hijacking.
The owners of the Quest, Jean and Scott Adam of Marina del Rey, California, along with their friends Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay of Seattle, Washington, were shot to death after they were taken hostage several hundred miles south of Oman.
Rico says that, while it probably didn't happen this way, it's funny nonetheless:
