Quote: Pirates: Warship shadowing hijacked American yacht By JASON STRAZIUSO and ABDI GULED, Associated Press – Sun Feb 20, 7:39 pm ET MOGADISHU, Somalia The Adams have been sailing the world with a yacht full of Bibles since 2004. The hijacking of their yacht came two days after a Somali pirate was sentenced to 33 years in prison by a New York court for the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. That case ended when Navy sharpshooters killed two pirates holding the ship's captain. The pirates from Puntland in northern Somalia are not hardline Islamists and the fact the Adams carry Bibles is not likely to be a problem "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life."Matthew 19:29 NKJV God blesses!!

MUHUMED, Associated Press – 46 mins ago NAIROBI, Kenya – Four Americans taken hostage by Somali pirates off East Africa were shot and killed by their captors Monday, the U.S. military said, marking the first time U.S. citizens have been killed in a wave of pirate attacks plaguing the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean for years. The Quest was the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who had been sailing around the world since December 2004 with a yacht full of Bibles. The two other Americans on board were Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, of Seattle, Washington. "We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest," said Gen. James N. Mattis, U.S. Central Command Commander. I cannot help but believe I'll someday be able to embrace these individuals in the Kingdom of Heaven. "When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony." Revelation 6:9 NLT "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."John 15:13 NLT God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Quote: "Pirates blamed the deaths of the American hostages on the U.S. Navy, saying the pirates felt under attack. "We warned them before that if we are attacked, there would be only dead bodies," said a man who gave his name as Abdirahman Abdullahi Qabowsade. "We have been killed and arrested illegally before, so we can't bear with such attacks anymore. We will respond to any future attacks aggressively." ___ Associated Press Writer Abdi Guled in Mogadishu, Somalia contributed to this report. How does one suffer from illegal arrest while practicing piracy on the high seas? Shades of the evil one and the abyss. "The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”"Genesis 3:12,13 NLT When one wishes to avoid responsibility it's always good to have a convenient scapegoat.
