On the date of Feb. 15 on a Tuesday, 4 Americans who were sailing off the East Coast of Africa were taken hostage by Pirates. It may seem a little funny that they were attacked Pirates. It may make you think of Peter Pan or Pirates of the Caribbean, but yes there are real life pirates today as you can tell. The pirates shot and killed the 4 Americans for no reason at all. They are the Somali pirates and have been versing different attacks across The Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
One of the pirates ended up getting killed by a member of the U.S. Special Operations Force and a total of 13 pirates have been captured. This is a little bit scary if you are someone who loves to sail or enjoys boating because you could be the next victim of these fierce pirate attacks. Instead of looking for treasure or burying treasure they are after people and find amusement in killing people.
I always thought pirates only existed in fairy tales.
