http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7358764.stm On the 12th day of captivity, the captain sent a message to the US warship telling it to attack once the vessel had been blacked out. "We hid in a stern compartment behind watertight doors and waited, but the attack didn't happen," he says. "After I had been freed, I asked them why and was told that it would have required authority from higher up, and that our lives were not in danger." He believes the French have the right idea. "Harsh action is what is needed," he says. "That's the only way to deal with the problem."
