A group of Somali pirates captured by the Russian navy in the Gulf of Aden and then set free in a boat are most probably dead after failing to reach the shore, a Russian defence source said Tuesday.
The 10 pirates were captured last week after seizing a Russian oil tanker but were then unexpectedly released, with Russian officials saying there was insufficient legal basis to keep them in detention.
"According to the latest information, the pirates who seized the Moscow University oil tanker failed to reach the shore. Evidently, they have all died," the high-ranking source was quoted as saying by all Russia's official news agencies.
Pussies. Cap'n Bligh had his crew row and sail for 47 days and 3618 nautical miles and only lost one man.
No details were given over the manner in which they could have lost their lives.
Can you say 'Kalashnikov' and '12.7 machine gun'?
