Five pirates were captured, and eight were killed. The Samho Jewelry, en route to Sri Lanka from the United Arab Emirates, was seized at the weekend. Aboard was a crew of eight Koreans, 11 Myanmar nationals and two Indonesians. REUTERS

    On the contrary, Kenny, I think the Yanks should take a cue from the Koreans, join hands with the rest of the navies and put a full stop to this menace once and for all!
