Yeah but now other Somali pirates (wouldn't be surprised if the two groups are linked) are looking like they might get $25 million for a captured Saudi tanker. If the two groups are linked that would certainly help to explain why they are now prepared to take only $3 million for the freighter full of tanks and weapons. They can't offload the cargo and it could get them slaughtered if they play hardball too long.
