Four Americans Killed on Hijacked Yacht
Rescue attempt gone bad? SEALs spotted before being able to take control? Even if not it will be spun that way, and the deaths will be all out fault.All four Americans were dead, killed apparently by their captors. There were more than a dozen pirates on board, some dead and others captured, Martin reports. Navy forces tried to provide lifesaving care but the Americans died of their wounds. The U.S. Central Command said negotiations had been under way to try to win their release. Gunshots were heard Monday but when U.S. forces reached the yacht, they found that all four hostages had been shot, the U.S. military said. Two pirates died during the ensuing confrontation, and 13 were captured and detained. The remains of two other pirates who were already dead also were found. In total the U.S. said that 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the Quest. Posted by: Glenmore 2011-02-22 |
