MOGADISHU, Somalia - Five of the Somali pirates who released a hijacked oil-laden Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a reported $3 million ransom after their small boat capsized, a pirate and port town resident said Saturday.
Pirate Daud Nure says the boat with eight people on board overturned in a storm after dozens of pirates left the Sirius Star following a two-month standoff in the Gulf of Aden that ended Friday.

Pretty good as karmic deaths go.

Can you say “accident”?

Wow! Talk about instant k-arghhhh-ma.

Apparently, it was a little less than karma if you believe the other pirates.

“Other pirates on the shore wanted a tip from the pirates on the Sirius Star, so they started to fire in the air as our people approached the land,” Libaan Jaama told CNN. “When our pirates heard the shots, they thought they would be robbed, so they tried to return to the tanker. In that quick turn the boat capsized.”

My sources in the shipping and insurance industry are of the view that attacking other nationalities of ship is one thing, but that very, very wealthy Saudis believed they had an arrangement with Somali warlords and that their ships would not be attacked. This tanker was Saudi connected. My sources believe that the pirates in question are in deep, deep shit. We shall see.

Are you suggesting that the ones who drowned were the lucky ones? Unstoppable Somali pirates, meet unstoppable Saudi justice.

Finish him!

Actually, my last comment was stupid. We shall not see, I guess. Something may happen to those Somali pirates who touched a Saudi asset or we may not, but we’d never know. In all, I’d rate my last post a 2/10.

And now, with more venom.
