read that "brother" part as Saudi Arabian. Sorry, Malaysia; apparently your ships don't rate sufficiently to inspire co-religionist feelings.
Then again, al-Shabaab may be jumping in because with the loot being this good, everybody wants a piece of the action.

Unfinished business, all that, but no sign of anyone on the side of right willing to see it through.
