DEVELOPING STORY: Four Americans aboard a yacht hijacked by Somali pirates have been killed, Fox News has confirmed. U.S. forces responded to gunfire aboard the yacht Quest at approximately 1 a.m. Tuesday, but discovered all four hostages had been shot by their captors. Despite attempts to save their lives, all four hostages died of their wounds. “We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest,” said Gen. James N. Mattis, U.S. Central Command Commander in a news release. Two pirates died during the confrontation and 13 were captured and detained, along with two pirates already in custody. U.S. forces also found the remains of two other pirates already dead aboard the vessel and believe a total of 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking. The yacht Quest was hijacked on Friday off the coast of Oman and U.S. forces had been closely monitoring the vessel.

We have lost our minds. Our country is being run by lunatics.
If they're convicted, they'll find life in a federal prison to be far better than Somalia.
Surely you know that C-in-C Maobama would never permit such a thing. He is probably working right now on his apology to the Somali innocents.
Why stop with the ships?
Distributing Bibles.
It's difficult imagining anything more dangerous in an islamist country/area.
Yep, if the Jeeps don't get them, the mountain bikes will.
You know, sometimes I’m tempted to think that we would be doing the world a favour if we just glassed the entirety of Somalia with large-warhead nukes, and were done with it.
We should be so lucky. We’ll probably just let them all go with a slap on the wrist. UN rules, donchaknow.
Color me skeptical and cynical, but I’m guessing that nobody will ever be told the exact circumstances of this incident for years — if at all.
Our enemies do not fear us.

Not really a big surprise is it?
*sigh*
Shouldn’t be vacationing in a place like that anyways
You know the answer to that.
“What in the hell were those four doing in that area anyway?
You go play in deaths backyard, you take your chances......”
I too do not honestly understand their lack of common sense (brains).
They are like those who continue to travel to Mexico in spite of all the warnings…Or: “No, don’t put you hand on that hot stove” and they do it anyway.
One article I read is that they were distributing Bibles or something religious.
Distributing religious things does not immune anybody from anything...only good sense saves lives.
Right. That was something that needed to be said.
That’s right.....kidnapping for these scumbags is a win/win.
“Why stop with the ships?”
Sometimes you show more power through restraint.
4 Americans murdered and now we have 13 animals that will be given rights of the dead Americans.
Disgusting
Didn't they???
Nope, per Fox they boarded and recaptured the yacht. The Somalis shot the hated evangelical hostages.
In many jurisdictions anyone involved in a criminal activity that results in a death is just as guilty of murder as the trigger man.
obama will be issuing an apology to the somali pirates for getting blood on their dirty nightshirts...then offer financial aid if they promise not to do it again....
