Both ships deployed helicopters, and naval officers hailed the pirates over loudspeakers and finally fired warning shots to stop them, Fernandes said, but not before the pirates had dumped most of their weapons overboard. NATO forces boarded the skiff, where they found a rocket-propelled grenade, and interrogated, disarmed and released the pirates. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517084,00.html

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
but if you continue reading it also says that they let them go. They had not attacked a Canadian ship so they could not try them.
so let me get this right.
Merchant Marines cannot carry anything more deadly than a steak knife on the high seas, but Somoli Pirates can run around with rocke propeled grenades and we cannot pick them up and try them because they didnt attack anyone?
good grief.
