Pirates!

Recently released info on the pirate hijack - Military officials say that the pirates are going to be paid the damanded ransom. Originally rumored of being 35 million dollars , lowered to 20 million. However, the amount being paid is still not conclusive, nor is who is paying this large sum of money.

The boat is cargoing Soviet-era tanks, tank artillery shells, grenade launchers and small arms.
And is being held off the coast of Somalia. Its 25 man crew and well the boat, obviously, have been held by the pirates since September 25th. The captian of the ship died of a heart attack days after the hijacking though. So his body is being stored in a BIG freezer on board to delay decompistion.

The ransom was close to being paid weeks ago. But, is never went through so the ship is still under pirate control.

The U.S. navy has been trailing the ship for weeks now, just to make sure that the boat isnt unloaded on the coast of Somalia. Remember, the boat is filled with tanks and such, so those weapons getting in the wrong hands would be no good.
