MAHE, Seychelles (Nov. 7) - Pirates who attacked a cruise ship off the coast of Somalia grinned as they aimed grenade-launchers and machine guns at the deck and staterooms, some passengers said Monday, recounting the ordeal after safely docking in this Indian Ocean archipelago.
One of the pirates has been positively identified as "Lootie", who is currently wanted in the US for charges of looting in the days following the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
