Two Somalis get life in US prison for pirating ship

Two Somali men were sentenced on Monday to spend the rest of their lives in a US prison for their roles in the pirating of a yacht that ultimately resulted in the death of two American couples.

Ali Abdi Mohamed, 30, and Burhan Abdirahman Yusuf, 31, were sentenced to the life prison terms in federal court in Norfolk after they pleaded guilty earlier this year to piracy of the S/V Quest vessel off the Somali coast. (Reuters)
