Pirates add ammo, men to ships after 4 U.S. deaths
Washington Times Wednesday 23rd February, 2011
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Pirates in Somalia said Wednesday they were ferrying ammunition and men to the 30 hijacked vessels still under their control, and they threatened to kill more captives following the violent end to a hostage standoff that left four Americans dead. The US military said that 15 pirates detained after the Americans were slain Tuesday could face trial in the United States. The military, FBI and Justice Department are working on the next steps for those pirates, said Bob Prucha, a spokesman for US Central Command in Tampa, Fla. The Somalis currently are being held on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, which is in the waters off East Africa.
