The Somali pirates released a Saudi Oil Tanker after a million pound ransom was reportedly paid.
The worst part, for the Saudis, is that the oil was worth about 280 million when the tanker was captured, and now they get it back, but with al that oil worth only about 80 million. Some sheik will probably have to put a hold on the jumbo jet he was going to buy with gains, but at least he will have enough to keep the camels well fed... should things get worse. I hear that the average camel prefers US dollars to most other currencies. Lots of fiber ... the kind that inflates to give that full feeling.
