He was pursued by two air marshals who were aboard the flight while his wife, Anne Buechner, tried to explain that Alpizar was ill and had not taken his medication. "When the incident began and he uttered something to the effect that he had a bomb, the federal air marshals came out of cover," Jim Bauer, special agent in charge of the Miami field office of the Federal Air Marshal Service, told TIME.

...functions. The summit did, however, put on display yet more signs of animosity towards the U.S. In case you haven’t noticed, America’s standing in the world isn’t what it once was.

As the pirates drew...
...began, he says, with "the flash of 5 to 10 shots. Straightaway I knew it must be pirates." Before he could issue a distress signal, three fiber-glass speedboats with powerful outboard motors pulled alongside the Semlow. The pirates hooked a small metal ladder to the ship and scrambled aboard. "There were 15 to 20 men wearing shorts and T shirts," says Mahalingam. Those who boarded were barefoot but carrying pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The pirates rushed to the bridge, where in halting English they quizzed Mahalingam and his nine-man crew--eight Kenyans and a Tanzanian...
