Five of the Somali pirates who released a hijacked, oil-laden Saudi supertanker drowned with their share of a reported $3m (£1.96m) ransom after their small boat capsized, local sources said today.

A pirate who was not part of the pirate operation but knew those involved, Daud Nure, said the boat with eight people on board overturned in a storm after dozens of pirates left the Sirius Star, following a two-month standoff in the Gulf of Aden, that ended yesterday.

He said five people died and three people reached the shore after swimming for several hours.

Jamal Abdulle, a resident of the Somali coastal town of Haradhere, close to where the ship was anchored, also confirmed that the boat sank and that the portion of the ransom money that had been shared between dozens of pirates was lost.
 
A local pirate is the source of this news story.

I'm amazed at what passes for journalism these days.

If I just made out with 3 million dollars I'd want people to think I was dead too. I'd probably even pay people to say so. That way, the people I stole it from wouldn't bother looking for me.
