SOMALI pirates have threatened revenge after two separate hostage-rescue raids by foreign forces killed at least five comrades, raising fears of future bloodshed on the high seas. The latest raid by US forces this morning saved American hostage Capt Richard Phillips. Three pirates were killed and one was taken captive, the US Navy said.
That rescue mission and one by France last week have upped the stakes in shipping lanes off the anarchic Horn of Africa nation where pirate gangs have defied foreign naval patrols.
"The French and the Americans will regret starting this killing. We do not kill, but take only ransom. We shall do something to anyone we see as French or American from now," Hussein, a pirate, told Reuters by satellite phone.
"We cannot know how or whether our friends on the lifeboat died, but this will not stop us from hijacking," he said.
Sea gangs generally treat their captives well, hoping to fetch top dollar in ransoms. The worst violence has been an occasional beating.

OK, time to blow the hell out of their bases now.
Go Navy!
They could start by blowing the brains of the Filipinos. Since they have 250 or of the hostages, why not?
These are not terrorists. They are “man-caused disaster makers” per the new lingo from the new global order direct from the Whtie House - at least that is what the czar of national security Ms. Justlike Napoleon says. Time to brush up on the lingo so’s you can be with it.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for Muslims to follow through on vague threats.
yep, a little muslim plinkin’ as I call it.
Start deporting all of them from MN, CO ,WA. The Sonali tribes are all over Denver airport. I have seen them in other airports. Cut off their welfare and deport them.
ROTFLMAO!
I shall repeat this to many people.
Perfect.
Set up some ships as floating honeytraps and send them into harms way.
When the pirates approach uncover the big stuff and blow them out of the water.
“I’ll bite your legs off!”
Does it make me crazy that I keep having fantasies about unleashing our arsenal on them and then giving specific orders to the troops to kill all the Somalis they find until the neighboring governnments swear up and down that they will get their criminal elements together(q)
So did we offend the sensibilites of the pirates?
Was he shocked that our Navy Seals took action?
Does he really feel he has the “moral high ground” because their piracy is done for ransom, and not to kill an enemy?
Does he miss his three lap dog boys that we killed?
OK, OK they're just scumbag murdering cockroaches playing pirate - but dang I have been waiting along time to repeat that line.
I like the way you think.
One 50 cal and a trained gunman on the back of the boat could probably sink most of this filth.
