Pirates 'Drown With Huge Ransom'

[Ghazi]

Great news, just like like celebrating the killing of local car hijackers.

This is classic.

One of the pirates who held a Saudi-owned oil supertanker off the coast of Somalia before releasing it for ransom over the weekend told CNN how five in his group drowned when the boat in which they left the ship capsized under fire from rival pirates.

"Other pirates on the shore wanted a tip from the pirates on the Sirius Star, so they started to fire in the air as our people approached the land," Libaan Jaama told CNN. "When our pirates heard the shots, they thought they would be robbed, so they tried to return to the tanker. In that quick turn the boat capsized."

Knowing the ethics of pirates, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those "drownings" were caused by 7.62mm holes, once the cash was secure on the zodiak.
