I'd be very surprised if ours and other countries special forces weren't already in Somalia gathering intel and taking action.

The effectiveness of the SF action was mostly thanks to the actions of the crew, disabling the ship and locking themselves away, so the only "targets" on board were the pirates.

xaccers you are probably right, good job all the same, other countries should take the same approach towards the pirates

They were released in an inflatable boat without navigational equipment.
Within an hour, contact was lost with the boat's radio beacon, the defence source said.
"It seems that they all died,"

Now that is a sad story.
