The Court of Appeals Salalah in Oman for first twelve captured pirates sentenced to life imprisonment last May by the Royal Omani Navy, intercepted as they tried to retreat to the coast of Africa. Coastguard that I first had them side by side on the complaint of the owner of a vessel had originally due to withdraw under fire from bandits. Some time after they have been intercepted by a ship of the Royal Navy who made the catch.
Pirates had requested assistance simulating a failure, when the fishermen have approached ten heavily armed robbers boarded the boat with the plan of seizing seized with the crew and ask for a ransom. The acts of piracy in the waters of the Gulf are on the increase despite a couple of years Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Pakistan have signed an agreement anti-collision. The attacks brought to fruition (or rather, bad end) are actually decreased but the total of those attempts is rapidly increasing: side effects of the global crisis.
