4 American hostages killed by pirates off Somalia, 22nd February 2011

In this June 11, 2005 photo provided by Joe Grande, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle are seen on a yacht … .

Tuesday 22nd February 2011 is a very sad day for the families of 4 Americans, killed by Somalia Pirates.

The 4 Americans are the first ever American casualties since the Somali Pirates launched endless marauding attacks on ships, yachts and tankers across the straits of Eden, since approximately 6 years ago.

There is no end to this menance.

The pirates have no feelings for innocent civilians and they don't care about human lives and their families and the sufferings.

The Somali pirates give no damn attention to the current conflicts sweeping across Northern African Countries, Arabs and Gulf Countries where the Tunisian leader and Egyptian President, had already stepped down, crumbling to enormous pressure exerted by thousands of anti government uprisings.

Now the current government of Libya, Yemen, Bahrain are dangerously fragile and crumbling under the growing people's power, yet the Somali pirates never care and never read the news or watch TV.

All they have in their evil minds is to cause misery to innocent people lives as long as their greed for money is fulfilled.

Now Let's pray to God and ask for His blessings to the souls of the 4 Americans,
Jean and Scott Adam of Marina del Rey, near Los Angeles, and Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle of Seattle.

Jean and Scott Adam had been sailing their 58-foot yacht Quest around the world since December 2004, and had been joined in recent months by Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle.

Unfortunately, their yacht was boarded by ruthless blood thirsty and money hungry Somali pirates on the 18th of February 2011 somewhere off the coast of Oman.


Why not use Atomic bombs or one Tsar Bomb (which is 3,800 times more powerful than the Atomic Bomb that destroyed Hiroshima during World War II) or nuclear missiles to annihilate those pirates, once and for all??

The presence of U.S. Navy destroyers could not prevent the cold-blooded killings of those 4 Americans.

The 4 American were killed on board the yacht when a crazed pirate suddenly fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the USS Sterett, a US Destroyer, followed by bursts of gunfire.

U.S. special forces scrambled onto the occupied vessel only to find the four Americans fatally wounded.

The deaths of the four travelers, all in their late 50s or 60s, appeared to underscore an increasingly brutal and aggressive shift by pirates in their treatment of hostages.

Killing hostages "has now become part of our rules," said a crazy and plain stupid pirate who identified himself as Muse Abdi.

Abdi, the psycho, referred as a turning point to last week's sentencing of a pirate to 33 years in prison for the 2009 attack on the U.S. cargo vessel the Maersk Alabama — just two days before the hijacking.

"From now on, anyone who tries to rescue the hostages in our hands will only collect dead bodies," the satanic and the evil Abdi said. "It will never, ever happen that hostages are rescued and we are hauled to prison."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton strongly condemned the killing of the Americans as "deplorable," saying in a statement the slayings underscored the need for international cooperation in fighting the scourge of piracy in waters off the Horn of Africa.

President Barack Obama, who was notified about the killings of the Americans at 4:42 a.m. Washington time, had authorized the military to use force in case of an imminent threat to the hostages, said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Four U.S. warships had been shadowing the Quest since shortly after it was seized south of Oman on Friday, 18th February 2011 and U.S. officials were in radio contact with the captors as the pirates tried to sail it to the Somali shore.

A channel of negotiations had been opened, and on Monday, 21st February 2011, 2 pirates boarded the USS Sterett, a guided-missile destroyer some 600 yards from the seized yacht, and they stayed overnight, said Vice Adm. Mark Fox, commander of the U.S. 5th Fleet in Bahrain.

By the next morning, though, things quickly turned deadly, with all signs pointing to a dispute among the damn and blood-sucker pirates.

At 8 a.m. local time, Fox said, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired from the Quest at the Sterett and missed, followed almost immediately by the sound of small arms fire coming from the yacht.

Several pirates then appeared on the yacht deck with their hands up. U.S. naval forces rushed aboard the vessel and found all four Americans had been shot; two pirates also lay dead from gun shot wounds.

The special forces troops tried to provide lifesaving care to the Americans, but they died, Fox said.

Fifteen pirates were taken into custody — 13 aboard the yacht as well as the two who had been negotiating aboard the Sterett, Fox said.

In addition, 2 pirates were killed in the operation, including one who was knifed by a member of the U.S. force, Fox said.

To me, the 13 captured and still alive pirates shall never be allowed to live another day.



Instead, they should be forced to eat this..




Or this !!!


And this!!!

Damn you Somali Pirates... watch out for the Tsar bomb... !!!

Somali pirates arrive in Malaysia, Monday 31st January 2011

In Somalia, they are kings... indiscriminately firing their automatic rifles and hijacking ships at will, and keeping hostages for months and years.. no sympathy offered, all done in the name of money!!!

Now, face the reality you Pirates ... These are real life Pirates.. not Pirates of the Carribeans, but Somali pirates.

Send them to 100 years jail terms with hard labour or just threw them into the sea, and dont waste a single cents of taxpayers money on these useless jerks and imbeciles!!!

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Monday 31st January 2011.

SEVEN accused Somali pirates, captured by Malaysian forces in a raid to free a hijacked oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden, arrived on Monday, 31st January 2011, in Malaysia for possible prosecution.

The seven, dressed in orange detention suits and handcuffed behind their backs, arrived at Port Klang south of Kuala Lumpur and were taken under heavy security to a police station and then a hospital.

Transported in a convoy of a dozen vehicles, they spent an hour undergoing medical checks as some 50 police with automatic weapons stood guard outside the hospital's emergency department.

Authorities had said the pirates would arrive in Malaysia on board the rescued tanker MT Bunga Laurel, which along with its crew of 23 was seized on January 20, 2011 in the Gulf of Aden, the centre of Somalia's piracy crisis.

The chemical tanker was headed to Singapore with a cargo of lubricating oil worth more than US$10 million (S$13 million) when bandits armed with AK-47 assault rifles boarded and took control of the ship.

Malaysian naval commandos from a vessel protecting shipping in the area, along with a navy attack helicopter, responded to a distress call and captured the pirates after a brief firefight. -- AFP

Below are news materials on Somalia Pirates menance off the coast of Aden, as reported by the internatoonal media.

Why capture?? Just blew those pirates up to end this menance, once and for all.

Why the Somalian Pirates are very afraid of the navy forces??

The Pirates of Somalia are constantly marauding in the Gulf of Aden, hijacking dozens of commercial ships, kidnapping hundreds of terrified sailors and reaping millions in ransom money.

This out of control situations have prompted many countries to send out their Navy Forces to escort the commercial ships.

The pirates will run helter skelter at the very sight of a Navy Ship..

And why is that??

Because apart from precision missiles and torpedoes, most Navy forces in the world are equipped with the anti-ship Phalanx Close-In Weapon System or CIWS.

The weapon system consists of a 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling gun autocannon, capable of firing 4,500 rounds of 20 mm calibre ammunitions per minute or an astonishing 75 rounds per seconds!!!

A Phalanx CIWS is capable of shooting down a jet fighter!!!

That is why the pirates run for their life... Their AK47s or Rocket Propelled Grenades, RPGs are no match to the Phalanx CIWS.

Watch this :

Face to face with a Somali pirate!!



These Somali pirates have been creating havoc to the shipping industries worldwide because the gulf of Aden where the rampant pirates attack took place is one of the key shipping route.

These pirates only want money for themselves, not knowing how their piracy acts, have greatly jeopardise our living and the economy.

From international media reports, millions of dollars had been paid out as ransom to these pirates, and yet they are still not satisfied, still greedy and still attacking.

The international shipping laws forbid ships from carrying arms or armed guards, thus making it easier to this pirates to subdue the crews.

Pirates also used long poles or ropes to manouver their way up to ships from their small boats.

My say, why not shipping agencies all around the world meet and change the laws that forbid them to carry arms or armed guards.

Why not sacrifice a few thousands in the form of payments for armed professional escorts to keep guard and ensure safe journey to your ships??

Instead of letting your sailors and crews cross the gulf of Aden without any means of defending themselves?? and incur million of dollar losses when the ship and the crews are being kidnapped?? what if they died as had happened to one crew member of a hijacked Malaysian tanker, MISC last year??

Why not equip those commercial ships with big guns such as a 50 calibre Heavy Machine Guns or a Phalanx weapon system or even Anti Aircraft guns? or at least a GPMG - general purpose machine gun?? these kinds of armaments will scare the hell out of the pirates!!!!

The sea around gulf of Aden is monstroulsy vast and not even the biggest navy armada in the world can escort and watch each and every one ship out there, isn't it?

Below is a newsreport by the BBC on a "SMILING" young Somali pirate captured by the US Navy and extradited to the US.

BBC News
A Somali teenager captured by the US during the rescue of an American sea captain from pirates is due to appear in a federal court in New York.

Abde Wale Abdul Kadhir Muse will be the first person to face piracy charges in the US in over a century, US media reports say.

He was held over the seizure of Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips off Somalia and flown to the US on Monday.

Earlier, his mother appealed to US President Barack Obama to free him.

Adar Abdurahman Hassan told the BBC her son was innocent and just 16 years old.

The teenager is accused of being a member of the pirate gang which boarded the Maersk Alabama container ship on 8 April and took Capt Phillips hostage in a lifeboat.

The stand-off ended on the fifth day when US Navy marksmen killed three of the pirates while Abde Wale Abdul Kadhir Muse was aboard a US warship allegedly demanding a ransom.

The teenage suspect arrived in the US late on Monday, under heavy guard.

On Monday his mother said she wanted to be present in court if the case went ahead.

She said her son had been missing for two weeks prior to the hijacking and she only realised he had been implicated when she heard his name in a radio report.

She told the BBC's Somali service: "I am requesting the American government, I am requesting President Obama to release my child. He has got nothing to do with the pirates' crime.

"He is a minor. He is under-age and he has been used for this crime. I also request from the US, if they choose to put him on trial, I want them to invite me there."

On Sunday, the internationally-recognised but fragile Somali government said captured pirates could face the death penalty.

But the Horn of Africa nation has been without an effective administration since 1991, fuelling the lawlessness which has allowed piracy to thrive.

Shipping companies last year handed over about $80m (£54m) in ransom payments to the gangs.

GPMG, Mesingan pelbagai guna TLDM menakutkan lanun Somalia....

Berikut adalah laporan muka hadapan Utusan Malaysia 2 januari 2009 mengenai insiden serangan lanun Somalia yang semakin menjadi jadi di perairan Teluk Aden :-

KUALA LUMPUR 1 Januari 2009. – Dua minggu selepas menyelamatkan kapal dagang China daripada dirampas lanun di Teluk Aden dekat Somalia, Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) hari ini berjaya menggagalkan pula cubaan lanun merampas sebuah kapal tangki India di perairan sama.
Kehadiran helikopter Fennec dari kapal perang TLDM, KD Sri Inderasakti yang dilengkapi mesingan pelbagai guna (GPMG) 12.7mm berjaya membuatkan lanun-lanun dari dua bot yang sedang menembak kapal MT Abul Kalam Azad, melarikan diri.
Dalam kejadian pukul 6.30 pagi itu (11.30 pagi waktu Malaysia), kapal KD Sri Inderasakti yang menerima panggilan kecemasan (SOS) dari kapal tangki itu segera mengarahkan helikopter Fennec untuk membantu.
Kapal perang itu berada kira-kira 28 kilometer dari lokasi MT Abul Kalam Azad yang sedang diserang oleh dua bot lanun.
Helikopter TLDM tiba di lokasi kejadian kurang 10 minit kemudian dan menyertai helikopter Dauphine dari kapal Tentera Laut Arab Saudi (HMS Al-Dammam) untuk menghalang rampasan kapal tangki tersebut.
Panglima Armada TLDM, Laksamana Madya Datuk Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badaruddin memberitahu Utusan Malaysia malam ini, menyedari kehadiran helikopter Fennec yang dilengkapi GPMG, kedua-dua bot lanun itu yang berasa terancam telah beredar melarikan diri.
Menurutnya, lanun-lanun tersebut sebelum itu cuba merampas kapal tangki itu dengan menembaknya.


Apa yang menarik di sini, LANUN TERSEBUT MELARIKAN DIRI APABILA MELIHAT MESINGAN PELBAGAI GUNA ATAU GPMG – DALAM BAHASA INGGERISNYA – GENERAL PURPOSE MACHINE GUN….

seorang tentera dengan GPMG

Untuk pengetahuan, GPMG dicipta untuk memenuhi keperluan mesingan ringan atau LMG (Light Machine Gun) dan mesingan berat atau HMG (Heavy Machine Gun) – maksudnya ia berada di tengah tengah…


GPMG digunakan tentera Malaysia di barisan hadapan selain daripada senjata lain seperti LMG Minimi..
Mesingan LMG minimiMesingan HMG

GPMG dikeluarkan dalam pelbagai versi oleh pelbagai negara termasuk United Kingdom, German, China dan Republik Czech.

Senjata ini boleh diletakkan di atas Tripod samada di kenderaan, bot dan helikopter.

Raifal AK47 Kalashnikov buatan Russia

GPMG mempunyai kuasa tembakan lebih kuat daripada rifel automatic AK 47 Kalashnikov, buatan Russia yang lazimnya digunakan lanun Somalia dan elemen militant Afrika yang lain.
Seorang tentera sedang memikul RPG

Lanun terbabit juga sering dilihat membawa RPG atau Rocket propelled Grenade atau Grenad berkuasa roket…. Atau ringkasnya Bazooka yang bertujuan memusnahkan kereta kebal..
Apapun artikel ini tiada kaitan dengan lagu "Bazooka Penaka" oleh kumpulan Wings....!!!!!!
Thanks for reading, terima kasih kerana membaca...


Saksikan kehebatan tembakan GPMG sebagaimana didemonstrasi tentera British dalam video di bawah :
