Somali Pirates Suffer Strange Burns

Either the ship is haunted, or some kind of microwave or energy weapon has being deployed against the pirates:

Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.

Andrew Mwangura, the director of the East African Seafarers’ Assistance Programme, told the Sunday Times: “We don’t know exactly how many, but the information that I am getting is that some of them had died. There is something very wrong about that ship.”

Sounds not too far off from the acoustic weapon deployed by a Carnival Cruiselines ship against Somali pirates back in 2005.

    The cargo contained over 20 tanks too. So, the weapon used against the pirates may have been in the hold of the ship.

    Either that or the contents of the ship was radioactive, and someone spilled something before the pirates killed everybody. Sounds like low-level radiation exposure to me…
