May he attain Nibbana or RIP
But Somali pirate would have had kept him as hostage for ransom if he is a Westerner or Japanese or Korean or Singaporean.
He was killed because he was a citizen of country no worse than Somalia
That what our politicians has done to our country.
NO RESPECT for SRI L ANKA EVEN FROM PIRATES.

If I read right, the location the pirates boarded the vessel is beyond my comprehension - The Straits of Hormuz is the entrance to the Persian Gulf and has more traffic than on the Galle Road at 8 AM on a weekday - and it is also some 4 - 5 days sailing time from Somalia or the Gulf of Aden where piracy is at its peak... So far the Northern-most point of Hijacking has been off the coast of Oman in the narrow strip of water between the coast and the island of Masira (mv Charelle - 2009 June). The present location is around 27 Degrees North and roughly 1100 n,m. from the Gulf of Aden...and it beats me how a bum-boat with pirates got that far - attacked the vessel - killed the Captain and just vanished into the thin air! This area also has excellent mobile phone signals of Etisalat, OmanTel, AirTel as well as a few other operators... This simply can not be true... even the more sophisticated navies of the world operate off logistic bases off Oman...

Its time to wipe out that God-forsaken area called Somali, along with the beasts that inhabit it.Slaughter them all. Our Armed forces need something worthy to do. Destroy them from the land, air and sea!

I suppose, there are lot of Sri Lankans working on these ships, and now we have completed the war with most ruthless terror outift, it is not a bad idea to send some of our esteem navy seals and special forces heroes and I am sure for them these somalians no match, even the west navys are patrolling they are not upto our standards.

Somali pirates have been terrorising the territorial waters of the world since long time. and have become a threat to the entire world. An urgent collective effort from the world powers is a must to eradicate the another from of terrorism.
