American Crew Regains Control of Hijacked Ship, One Pirate in Custody

"American crew members aboard a U.S.-flagged ship have regained control of the vessel hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia Wednesday, FOX News confirms.

One pirate is reportedly in custody.

The U.S. Navy ordered its ships to the scene after pirates commandeered the Maersk Alabama cargo ship crewed by 20 U.S. citizens.

Officials would not say how many Navy ships are on the scene nor would it confirm the nationality of the crew members, but sources told FOX News the Danish-owned ship is operated by U.S. shipping company, Maersk Line Limited.

Pentagon Spokesman Bryan Whitman said he has "no information to suggest the 20 crew members of the Maersk Alabama have been harmed by the pirates."

Whitman declined to comment when asked if military action would be taken."........

And with Odinga, the Marxist “cousin” of Obama, in charge of Kenya, after a violent coup, why on EARTH does Kenya, with its Communist Utopia, NEED American food aid? lol

A report at link 708 is saying they fought the pirates off for 5 hours but eventually succumbed (before fighting control back)

One pirate in custody - 3 are in the water.

Too bad the Captain is the water with them. Fortunately for the Captain, they are in one of the ship's lifeboats. Crew attempted to trade captured pirate for Captain, the pirate, being pirates, reneged. But now they are floating in big ocean in a very small raft.

Waiting for coalition and US naval forces to appear on scene.
