Earlier this year, a chemical tanker, the Dewi Madrim, was hijacked by machinegun-bearing pirates in speedboats off the coast of Sumatra. But these weren't ordinary pirates looking for booty. These were terrorists learning how to drive a ship. They also kidnapped officers in an effort to acquire expertise on conducting a maritime attack, according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
This attack, reports G2 Bulletin was the equivalent of the al-Qaida hijackers who attended Florida flight schools before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

So what happened? Did your husband let him on board?
(Sorry. Your story sounded quite interesting. My curiosity is killing me!) :)
About a year ago, my husband had a request from a Seattle Tech school to place a Muslim young man aboard an oil tanker as an intern. My husband passed the request to the FBI and asked that the FBI vet the kid before they allowed him aboard, but the FBI ignored his request.
