A Russian official claimed that 10 pirates seized by Russian special forces aboard an oil tanker last week were quickly freed but then died on their way back to the Somali coast.

In short, they couldn't swim. No mention of a boat being provided.

Any self respecting pirate should be able to swim 300 miles. *sigh*

That’s a shame. They must have all got the flu or herpes or something. At least the Russians did all they could for them.

New change made in the Somali Pirates rule book:

“All ships, except Russian, are subject to being pirated”

Dead pirates cannot commit piracy. However the Russians did it....you can be sure the Somali’s will think twice before pirating another Russian ship

They died from the excitement of meeting a real Russian celebrity.

“We’ll have to do what our forefathers did when they met the pirates” until the international community comes up with a legal way of prosecuting them, Dmitry Medvedev said on the day the ship was stormed.

Perhaps they were given an opportunity to walk the 500 miles home. Apparently the 4 meter plank didn’t get them very far.

I doubt that future pirates will knowingly attack Russian ships.

You have to admire the Russian’s solution to that specific problem.

The Russians have come up with a successful pirate reform program. I’m guessing the recidivism rate isn’t real high.
