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.

According to the story you linked, there were two dead pirates already aboard prior to the navy boarding & killing the other two.
Not only missionaries, but hikers, businessmen, expatriots, soldiers of fortune, and dozens of other varieties of Americans.
OH BS,
I guess you would put on a big diamond ring and a Rolex and head downtown Detroit or Dallas at night and not expect to be robbed?
That would just be stupidity.
Those senior citizens had zero business being anywhere close to the red sea or Somalia, or anywhere in the middle east near Islam hell.
Hell, those pirates have been hijacking FREIGHTERS and getting away with it for years.
Those California travelers thought they were immune from robbery and possible death?
Cry me a marina del ray river of tears.
Stupid is as stupid does.
“Somali pirates” is a misleading weasel phrase for “predatory Muslims.”
I cannot believe I had to read 90 posts before getting the correct answer.
Sail for the nearest Somali harbour, moor in plain view of the town, give CNN, NSBC, BBC and all the rest of the MSM vermin time to assemble on the coast line, and then hoist the pirates up one by one.
After their usefulness in this regard is met they should be be 'set free' in a skiff with no motor, rations or lifevests.
When they are far enough away from the US warship, our sailors should be encouraged to hone their small arms skills for as long as is practical, then the warship shop strafe the skiff with cannon fire till it sinks.
Following this, the good captain should use his fresh intel and locate the mother ship, this time allowing his gunners some practice time.
Following the sinking of the hive colony, head on into the port mentioned by the now shark chum pirates, and lob some shells into the larger buildings. Repeat with the smaller buildings until the port is not useful for any purpose.
If this becomes standard operating practice, the annoyance of Muslim raiders at sea should trickle down to nothing very quickly.
...and cut them free to fall in the water afterward.
Thank you for the update and clarification.
I agree with everything you said.
They have brought their unique and vital culture to previously diversity-challenged areas like Minnesota and Nebraska. Now the natives are experiencing the joys of multiculturalism first hand as these cherished immigrants engage in traditional Somali customs such as:
And of course, because they are hip and young they are using the brilliant technology of 'twitter' and 'youtube' to bring a new twist to these traditional activities.
Somali gangs in Minneapolis accused of running sex-traffic ring
Rise of Somali Gangs Plagues Minneapolis
Ali was one of seven Minneapolis-area Somali men killed over a 10-month period, and authorities believe all were killed by fellow Somalis. Police say it's too simple to tie all the killings to Somali gangs, which have lured hundreds of young community members to their ranks in recent years.Somali Gangs Ran Sex Ring in 3 U.S. States, Authorities SayThose in the insular community willing to speak out, however, disagree.
"It was all gang activity, totally, 100 percent," said Shukri Adan, a former Somali community organizer who estimated in a 2007 report for the city that between 400 and 500 young Somalis were active in gangs. "The police don't want to say that but everybody else knows that."
In one case in 2005, a 13-year-old girl was taken from Minneapolis to Columbus, Ohio, and Nashville for sex.In another case, a girl was under age 13 when she was first forced to engage in sex acts in November 2006. Over time, she was taken to multiple locations and forced to engage in sex acts with multiple males. The indictment refers to the girl as Jane Doe Two. The Associated Press does not identify victims of sex crimes.
"Jane Doe Two was informed ... that selling Jane Doe Two for sex would be called a 'Mission.' It was a rule that members of the (gangs) would not be charged for sex with Jane Doe Two as they were fellow gang members," the indictment said. But others were charged for engaging in sex acts with the girl.
Young Men Post Beatings on YouTube
Attacks were on the weak and elderlyPublished : Tuesday, 17 Nov 2009, 5:48 PM CST
SAINT PAUL, Minn. - A group of young, Somali men posted a video of themselves attacking pedestrians and bicyclists in St. Paul.
The suspects openly identify themselves in the video, and then attack unknowing victims. None of the victims have reported any of the attacks. St. Paul police is urging victims to step forward, if they recognize themselves in the video.
The video, posted by YouTube user "madbi001," has since been removed from the website and the account has been closed.
The Midtown Greenway Coalition reported an incident of assault on the Greenway on Sunday, Nov. 15. A bicyclist was riding along the Greenway near 18th Ave. around 5:15 p.m. when they came across seven or eight young people running down the banks alongside the path, jumping and making noise.
The bicyclist attempted to alert a trailing rider, but they didn't hear the alert and were chased down and knocked off their bike.
St. Paul police detectives are interviewing at least one suspect in connection with the attacks in the YouTube video.

Crime rate up in Omaha Somali neighborhood
From Action 3 News:Omaha, NE- New steps may help keep Somali refugee families, who came to Omaha to find safety, safer. Some have said the crime in South Omaha is so bad, that they don’t even feel safe stepping outside or sending their kids to school.
There were six attacks in two days near the Southside Terrace Apartments, run by the Omaha Housing Authority. The attackers told the families they would come back and kill them if they talk to the police. The families are afraid to open the door, never knowing if the attackers are coming back for more.
Grand Island, NE police chief: “It is chaotic anarchy” here among all the ethnic groups
At first the Muslims didn’t make too many demands but then in 2008 they stirred up anger among other ethnic workers (we have all this in our posts from that time period).
That changed in 2008, during Ramadan, when virtually all the Muslim workers began leaving the assembly line en masse to pray. Even Muslims who are not particularly religious often make an effort to pray during the holy month.Co-workers complained that they had to pick up the slack. Management told the Somalis they couldn’t pray because the plant, one of the largest in the country, couldn’t afford to stop the machines. Five hundred Muslim workers, infuriated, walked off the job.
Most came back after Swift & Co. agreed to accommodate them by changing break times.
But other workers protested that the Muslims had gotten preferential treatment, an idea fueled by a story published in a local Spanish-language newspaper that falsely claimed the Somalis had gotten a pay raise. Fights broke out in the lunch room. Hundreds of Latinos — joined by the Sudanese, who are mostly Christian — walked off the job.
THANK YOU! Thank you: bleeding heart liberals, 'there is no such thing as race' conservatives, mainstream Protestant denominations, busy-body "refugee aid" groups, the Catholic church (I am Catholic), Congress, the main stream media, which does a great job not covering the destruction of our nation by out of control 3rd world immigration,and everyone else involved in the slow motion assassination of everything traditional and good in America.
They need to Fly AC-130 gunships in there and have them take out the compounds that house those who are “pirates” at sea.
Cut it with the patsycake.
How many more innocents must die?
I think that instead of running and hiding from pirates we should be hunting them down and killing them. I don't think we should be putting the blame on the victims of piracy. I'm pretty sure it's all the pirates' fault.
The only thing that gives me comfort is I know how all of this ends.
You are confusing blame and stupidity.
As long as we have a Muslim-in-weak-disguise in the White House and tolerate Muslims in the United States we are doomed.
There’s nothing inherently “stupid” about sailing in the Indian ocean. Thousands of vessels do it every day. It’s a key route for all shipping traffic. I don’t think we should just give it over to the pirates.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, LeMay released the weapons and got every B52 in the air. The ones based in Europe started running “racetracks” toward the Soviet border, approach, then turn around, to turn back and approach again.
He did this without Kennedy’s knowledge or approval. I can imagine that if a Banshee sutrveillance plane saw a missile plume from Cuba that LeMay would have said, GO! before Jack and Bobby, sitting in the cafe, learned of it.
During the Alabama Maersk pirate crisis, the Seals were told not to fire, but when a clear shot presented, they did.
The Oval office cannot (and was not set up to) control everything. If it’s worth a Colonel’s career to ask for a birth cert, what’s unloading a bay full of HE worth?
They were distributing Bibles.
I think the correct term is more ignorant. Stupid is as stupid does!!!
