The U.S. destroyer USS Howard and several other American ships have surrounded the Ukrainian cargo shipFaina, which was hijacked Thursday and is now anchored off the lawless coast of Somalia. The pirates have demanded a ransom of $20 million and the U.S. Navy cordon aims to prevent them from taking any of the weapons ashore.
The official in Washington who reported the shootout spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record. He refused to elaborate and said he had no way of confirming the deaths.
But the pirate spokesman insisted the report was not true, that his colleagues were just celebrating the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr despite being surrounded by American warships and helicopters.
"We didn't dispute over a single thing, let alone have a shootout," pirate spokesman Sugule Ali told The Associated Press by satellite telephone Tuesday.
"We are happy on the ship and we are celebrating Eid," Ali said. "Nothing has changed."
The Islamic feast marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Note that Jihadis can't get along with each other either. They kill Infidels, and when they don't have Infidels to kill, they set to killing each other.
During the Ramadan Feast, Allah must also be satiated.
Allah's neverending thirst for human blood must be assuaged at all costs. If Allah isn't fed, one can assume, the Jihadis believe something even worse will happen to them then simply being a Muslim.
That would be funny, if people didn't have to die for it.

ReplyDeleteBeing Muslims, they must be peaceful pirates at least. These Somali Buccaneer monkeys are out of control. They go out for weeks in little rickety boats with just weapons and water and eat raw fish they catch and keep hijacking bigger then bigger, then bigger boats.
These terrorist monkeys must be exterminated with extreme prejudice. Sending several drones into their camps when they're fat and happy celebrating their new money should do the trick.
Lots of great Pirate coverage over at Dinah Lord:

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says

All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.
