Captain Phillips .... update


Navy seals are being targeted by somebody?  The two dead guys were ex-Navy seals... and yet some idiot at the Trident Group is saying that the "scene did not suggest any foul play." 

From FoxNews:
Two former Navy SEALs working as security contractors aboard the Maersk Alabama were found dead Tuesday aboard the container ship, a day after it was docked near an island northeast of Madagascar, according to the Trident Group, the security firm that employed the men.
Authorities identified the two men as Jeffrey Reynolds and Mark Kennedy, both 44.

Details of the contractors' deaths remain unclear, but they were not on watch and did not die while performing a security operation, Tom Rothrauff, the president of the Trident Group, said. He said an initial assessment of the scene did not suggest any foul play.
A spokesman from the shipping line only confirmed that two people had been found dead, citing the ongoing investigation. The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the matter.

Wonder what's the nitty-gritty behind this story.
If we rule out terrorism against Americans found anywhere in the world .... then what are we left with?  Isn't it better to reveal the why and how and what it might be  rather then to leave it to our vivid and overactive imagination?

Jason Straziuso writing at AP:
....Two American security officers have been found dead on a ship made famous when it was hijacked by Somali pirates, according to a statement on Wednesday by Seychelles police.

The two Americans — Jeffrey Reynolds and Mark Kennedy, both 44 — were found dead Tuesday in a cabin on the Maersk Alabama, the ship hijacked by pirates in 2009, an event dramatized in the movie "Captain Phillips" starring Tom Hanks, according to a statement issued by police in the Indian Ocean island nation of Seychelles. .

The police gave no cause of death but said a post mortem has been scheduled.
