In February, the sailing vessel Quest was hijacked by pirates 240 nautical miles off the coast of Oman in the Indian Ocean.  The yacht’s crew of four Americans were taken hostage.  The pirates were finally captured by US forces but not before they killed the crew – Scott and Jean Adams, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle.    Today, in a Virginia court, a 23 year old Yemeni man, Mounir Ali, plead guilty to acts of piracy in the hijacking of the Quest.  He is the eleventh to plead guilty to the attack.  The other pirates were Somalis who plead guilty to the charges in May.
