Pirates engage in deadly clash over ransom in Somalia

PressTV

At least one pirate has been killed and ten have been injured in infighting between pirates over a ransom in central Somalia.

In the town of Harardheere, pirates armed with heavy weapons engaged in a battle over the ransom for a hijacked ship, the Press TV correspondent in Mogadishu reported.

The incident occurred after the Greek oil tanker Maran Centaurus was released on Monday.

It is believed that the heavy weapons were looted from the arms cache of a Ukrainian ship that was hijacked in 2008.

According to another report, many pirates have died in the fighting over the huge ransom.
