Pirates Drown Fishermen in Bangladesh By Lucy Hinderliter
About 16 fishermen were drowned by Pirates for their boat in southern Bangladesh. The police found thirteen bodies floating in the water and three bodies washed up on the shore.
The police saw that the fishermen had had their hands and feet tied up. They were most likely thrown into sea while they were alive. They say that sea robbery is pretty common in those areas but killing so many is really uncommon. Worried relatives have helped search for other victims. Navy ships are also searching for more fishermen.
