On Sunday, Yemenis, commonly referred to as Houthis, attacked a ship called the Magic Seas, a Greek-owned vessel, in the Red Sea. The pirates attacked and captured the Magic Seas:
It is thought the Yemen-based terror group initially attacked using a swarm of boats, small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. They then used kamikaze drones.
Having seized control of the bulk carrier, the gunmen simultaneously detonated multiple charges around the ship’s hull, causing it to sink.
The crew abandoned ship after being accosted by the pirates and, I believe, were rescued.
The Yemenis released shocking, and highly sophisticated, drone-shot video of their attack. The sinking of the Magic Seas is stunning:
The Yemenis are bitter enemies of the United States:
Three then stand on the roof with their Kalashnikov rifles chanting “Allahu Akbar”, God is the greatest, followed by, in Arabic: “Death to America, Death To Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, Victory to Islam.”
I don’t understand why the Houthi terrorist group still exists. We and the UK have bombed them off and on over recent months. Whatever we have done obviously hasn’t been enough. They should share the fate of pirates through the centuries: we should kill them all.
