NAIROBI, Kenya — The crew of a Libyan-owned cargo ship pounced on their sleeping Somali captors Wednesday, disarmed the pirates and killed five of them, regaining control of their vessel that had been hijacked almost three months earlier, officials said.

    Bravo folks! Let's hope the crewman who was injured makes a full recovery.

    One down, 19 to go! There are those here though who would/have said "How Barbaric! The hijackers were disarmed. They posed no further threat to anyone. They should have been held for the authorities, and given their day in court. For shame! :roll: :roll:

    This is great. This one step better than the Russians. My hats off to the Lybians. That is the best way to deal with them, not the pirate who managed to hide himself in a locked room can wait for a navy to dig his ass out.

    Piracy is becoming damgerous for the pirates. This the best news of the day. R=UP R=UP

    They were given their day in court and were found guilty and sentenced to death. It can happen quickly.

    A crew member was seriously injured during the struggle, the European Union's anti-piracy naval force said in a statement. The crew had reported to the force that they had retaken control of the ship Wednesday morning. The EU said it is believed some of the pirates were killed the incident.


    This sounds like a lot different scenario than the quad incident that I guess you're referring to. There was a struggle and some of the pirates didn't make it - so sad.

    I'm surprised they didn't all die during during the struggle (officially that is).
