Pirate ‘washes ashore with cash’
The body of a Somali pirate who reportedly drowned soon after receiving a huge ransom has washed ashore with $153,000 in cash, his uncle says.
The man was one of a group of pirates who seized the Saudi supertanker Sirius Star in November.
They reportedly received $3m (£1.95m) for freeing the tanker but five were said to have drowned after fleeing.
A relative of the drowned pirate told the BBC the family was now trying to dry out the recovered money.
