Russian navy hands Somali 'pirates' to Iran, Pakistan
Russian naval bosses said Thursday that pirates among 29 it captured on a so-called mother ship off Somalia have been handed over to Iranian and Pakistani investigators, news agencies reported.

"At the start of May, after having conducted preliminary enquiries aboard the Admiral Panteleev (destroyer)... one group of pirates held were delivered to Iranian authorities and another to Pakistan," a representative of Russian naval high command was quoted as saying by Ria Novosti.
They'll be dusted off, fed, given insignificant medals, and returned to duty as 'fishermen' ...
Was it in the Soviet Union that key pirate ringleaders were trained?
