Didn't they???
Nope, per Fox they boarded and recaptured the yacht. The Somalis shot the hated evangelical hostages.
In many jurisdictions anyone involved in a criminal activity that results in a death is just as guilty of murder as the trigger man.
Why didn’t they board with guns blazing BEFORE the hostages were shot? At least then the folks may have had a chance. The warships trailed them a long time. And where were the Navy Seals? No, I will not blame the victims. This is an act of war by Somalia.
