U.S. Navy Captain Freed From Somali Pirates

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Three flawless shots. Three pirates killed.

Bracing themselves on a rolling warship in choppy seas, U.S. Navy snipers took down three Somali pirates with three single shots, freeing the American sea captain being held at gunpoint, a Navy commander said Monday.

Angry pirates vowed retaliation for the deaths, raising fears for the safety of some 230 foreign sailors still held hostage in more than a dozen ships anchored off the coast of lawless Somalia.
