Somali pirates killed a hostage and wounded another on a cargo ship hijacked nearly two years ago to protest delayed ransom payments, the United Arab Emirates' The National reported Sunday (September 2nd).
Hassan Abdi, a pirate leader based in the Somali town of Harardhere, a known centre of piracy in Somalia, said Friday that the killing on Wednesday was a warning to the ship's owners. "More killings will follow if they continue to lie to us -- we have lost patience with them. Two years is enough," he told the Associated Press.
Pirates off the coast of the Seychelles hijacked the Panama-flagged MV Orna, which is owned by a company based in the UAE, in December 2010. The pirates fired small arms and rocket-propelled grenades before boarding the boat.
