Arnie BS: Update on Somali Pirates (193* d) RE: BS: Update on Somali Pirates 22 Jan 11


Well done the S Koreans! I had read that naval forces would only intervene in any hijacking if the crews were locked in a safe room. As the Korean captain was shot in the stomach by a pirate, this suggests that he at least was not in a safe room. Makes it all the more remarkable that the commandos were able to take out so many pirates without any fatalities amongst the crew. And the helicopter crew deserve special mention as they attacked knowing that the pirates were armed with anti-tank missiles that could have blown the heli out of the sky. Lets hope the pirates start to see a bit of sense now and give up this bloody business.
