Somali Pirates -- Update

The Saudis gave in and paid the $3,000,000 ransom for the oil-toting Sirius Star. Piracy sometimes pays. Well, unless your boat doesn't capsize.

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 a relative of one of the
dead men said Saturday.

I guess the other pirates got away with their share of the ill-gotten loot.
