When returning to the shore two of the pirates from the vessel where killed in a gun-fight with a rival pirate militia.
 
The stash of the record-breaking ransom (over $7m) is reportedly now held in a heavily guarded house in Harardheere and pirates bragged that they even had dished out $500tsd to the crew for what they call "good co-operation", like it was done earlier with the crew of MV Faina, a vessel, which carried battle tanks for Southern Sudan.
 
The security situation in Harardheere is very tense, since the distribution of the money to the numerous stake-, stick- and share-holders has not yet beeen done.
 
The nightmare for the 28 seafarers however is over and the tanker is free without an environmental catastrophe.
