prepared last night to unload rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns from a Ukrainian freighter seized by Somali pirates even as foreign warships surrounded the vessel.

Does anyone have an update on this situation. I know they can't move the tanks but they can take the weapons

Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship
Andrew Donaldson Published:Sep 28, 2008

A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that was hijacked by pirates.

Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.

There wasn't a consensus if this was the same ship. :shrug:
