4th Somali man pleads guilty in piracy case

A fourth Somali pirate plead guilty to assisting in the hyjack of a yacht, which lead to the killing of four Americans. The man made a deal with prosecutors that lead to him identifying the other pirates involved in the hyjacking. Including this man, there are 13 Somali and one man from Yemen on trial for the incident. The men have said that the intention was not to kill the four Americans, but to hold them for randsom. They were the first U.S. citizens killed by the pirates.
