Heh - it's not easy being a Pirate
Remember the
Somali pirates who captured the Iranian ship loaded with �minerals� and �industrial products�.
Well - from the South African
The Times:
Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship
A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that was hijacked by pirates.
Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill �within days� of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.
Andrew Mwangura, the director of the East African Seafarers� Assistance Programme, told the Sunday Times: �We don�t know exactly how many, but the information that I am getting is that some of them had died. There is something very wrong about that ship.�
Heh -- sucks to be you...
Now the next question is where was that ship going before it was interrupted and how many others are out there.
