My understanding is that they were shot in the head AFTER the raid.

As in judge, jury, executioner.

I hope the Russian warship rescues the crew and then sinks everything it can find within 350 miles of Somali that has Somalis and Yemenis aboard...and leave the “survivors” to “feed the sharks”.

I’d pay money to watch a video feed of the resolution of this crisis. The Air Force should orbit a Global Hawk and sell IP video feeds.

That is a true story. They knew the leader of the kidnappers, took his brother in law. Then they sent his ears, nose and other body parts one by one per week till the kidnappers released the hostages.

Simply shell Mogadishu until they release the innocent vessel.

I recall reading of it at the time or shortly after. I don’t recall ever hearing that it wasn’t true. Certainly sounds like the way the Soviets did business.

TSgt is correct. Here's a rundown of what transpired when Chechen terrorists took over a Moscow theater in 2002. More civilians killed than terrorists.
