An idle maritime speculation on Somali piracy

Over the past year, more than 100 suspected pirates have been picked up, Prazuck said. Of that total, 27 have been released...

On Friday, a Portuguese warship seized explosives from suspected Somali pirates after thwarting an attack on an oil tanker, but later freed the 19 men.

If a pirate drowns in the middle of an ocean and no one sees the bubbles, does it count?

Just asking.
