Somali pirates vow revenge on US

A Somali pirate chief has vowed to target Americans in revenge for the death of three pirates killed during a US raid to free an American hostage held by the pirates.Abdi Garad said on Monday that the US forces had shot and killed the men, even after they had agreed to free the hostage."The American liars have killed our friends after they agreed to free the hostage without ransom," Garad was reported by the AFP news agency as saying."But I tell you that this matter will lead to retaliation and we will hunt down particularly American citizens travelling our waters."The news agency reported that Garad was speaking by phone from Eyl, a pirate base on Somalia's eastern coast.
