Navy commandos stormed a French sailboat held by pirates off the Somali coast Friday in an assault triggered by threats the passengers would be executed. But one hostage was killed in the operation, demonstrating the risks of a military operation against sea bandits.Did they even THINK that there are well known economic triggers in a free market that woudl have resolved these problems without the HORRORS of an Iron Fisted Jack Booted Godless Socialist Welfare State's Vindictive BRUTAL Repression of the Free Trade in Free Markets!!!
Four hostages, including a small child, were freed, French Defense Minister Herve Morin said. Two pirates also were killed and three others were taken prisoner. They are to be brought to France for criminal proceedings, joining 12 pirates already jailed and awaiting trial here.
It was the third time the French have freed hostages from the hands of pirates but the first time a hostage had been killed.
