| 2009-05-31 | ||
| 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.

| #2 Russian navy hands Somali 'pirates' to Iran, Pakistan Sweet. Appropriate treatment at the hands of the Russian navy, and even more appropriate treatment at the hands of the Iranians and Pakistanis. If there's anything left to be returned, assuming it is in one piece and breathing, I'll bet there will be minimal risk of rescidivism. |

| #1 Wow, the captured pirates resurface! I can't believe it. They've been attended by the tender mercies of the Russians since, what, mid-April? There was a story on Rantburg about it sometime around then. |
