Somali pirates are vowing to retaliate for the deaths of three fellow pirates at the hands of U.S. Navy snipers.
The daring nighttime assault freed American freighter Capt. Richard Phillips, who had been held hostage on a lifeboat off the Horn of Africa for five days.
One of the pirates told the Associated Press that, "In the future, America will be the one mourning and crying."
Asked about fears that the shooting of the 3 pirates could lead to more violent confrontations with pirates in the future, Vice Adm. Bill Gortney, commander of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet told reporters at the Pentagon Sunday, "Yes. There's second and third order effects to every action. And this could escalate violence in this part of the world. No question about it."
Admiral Gortney also said that Capt. Phillips was in "imminent danger" when U.S. forces shot and killed three armed pirates holding him hostage on a lifeboat in the Indian Ocean. "If he was not in imminent danger, they were not to take this sort of action," he said. "He had a weapon aimed at him, and the on-scene commander saw that the weapon was aimed at him."
As one of the four pirates who had been holding Capt. Richard Phillips, 53, negotiated onboard the USS Bainbridge, special forces on the same U.S. ship saw Phillips move to the side of the lifeboat to relieve himself,
At that point, forces saw their opportunity and killed the other three pirates on the lifeboat,
