Watch a member of the crew of the ship "Maersk Alamaba" talk about how they successfully fought off the pirates that had taken over their ship. Here's what he had to say:

"We are American seamen. We are union members. We stuck together, we did our jobs. And that's how we did it."

  • The independent Somalian news-site WardherNews conducted the best research we have into what ordinary Somalis are thinking - and it found 70 percent "strongly supported the piracy as a form of national defence of the country's territorial waters." During the revolutionary war in America, George Washington and America's founding fathers paid pirates to protect America's territorial waters, because they had no navy or coastguard of their own. Most Americans supported them. Is this so different?

  • Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy for Somalia confirmed to Al Jazeera the world body has "reliable information" that European and Asian companies are dumping toxic waste, including nuclear waste, off the Somali coastline.
