Malaysia holds 7 Somali pirates after saving ship

Published January 21, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia’s navy was holding seven Somali pirates Saturday after thwarting an attempt to hijack a chemical tanker in the Gulf of Aden, authorities said.

The Royal Malaysian Navy said its commandos injured three pirates in a gunbattle and rescued the 23 crew members of the Malaysian-flagged MT Bunga Laurel early Friday, less than two hours after the assailants stormed the vessel with pistols and assault rifles.

The navy sent a ship and a helicopter, which were then 14 miles (22 kilometers) from the Bunga Laurel, after crew members locked themselves in a safe room and activated a distress call, it said in a statement late Friday.

Elite security forces managed to board the ship and overpower the pirates after an exchange of gunfire, the statement said. No one among the rescue team or Bunga Laurel’s crew was injured.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said he was informed that seven pirates were captured. Authorities were considering whether they should be brought to Malaysia to face trial for the hijack attempt, Najib told a news conference.

  1. If these Somali pirates can read this – claim that you once lived the UK. The UK will immediately send diplomats to get you out, and bring you safely to the UK.

  2. Quote: Authorities were considering whether they should be brought to Malaysia to face trial for the hijack attempt, Najib told a news conference.

    Now that is a nice twist. The usual punishment for piracy is death by hanging, which captains in old time navies had the power to execute.

  3. Yes, hanging on spot will be the logical punishment, but a fair trial before is better, and if the death penalty was abolished by the flag’s state, then only incarceration will suffice, no matter the logic. If you treat barbarians barbaric, you’re a barbarian as well, 🙂

    1. A boat full of jihadis trying to raid a ship and then caught, are guilty by default. a quick trial on board ship will suffice.
