U.S. Special forces board seized vessel after gunshots erupt; 4 hostages slain by captors; 4 pirates dead and 15 in custody

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports they were apparently killed by Somali pirates.

The four Americans were taken hostage when the Quest was hijacked by pirates off the coast of Oman. All four were reported killed Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011.

      • Jean and Scott Adam's yacht was hijacked by Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea.

        Jean and Scott Adam's yacht was hijacked by Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea.

        Updated 11:04 a.m. ET

        Four Americans taken hostage by Somali pirates off East Africa were shot and killed by their captors Monday, the U.S. military said, marking the first time U.S. citizens have been killed in a wave of pirate attacks plaguing the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean for years.

        U.S. naval forces, who were trailing the Americans' captured yacht with four warships, quickly boarded the vessel after hearing the gunfire and tried to provide lifesaving care to the Americans, but they died of their wounds, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement from Tampa, Fla.

        Two pirates died during the confrontation and 13 were captured and detained, the U.S. Central Command said. The remains of two other pirates who were already dead for some time were also found. The U.S. military didn't state how those two might have died.

        On Monday, two pirates had peacefully come aboard the USS Sterett to negotiate with naval forces for the release of the hostages, and remained aboard overnight.

        But on Tuesday, pirates aboard the Quest unexpectedly fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the Sterett. Shortly afterward, gunfire erupted inside the Quest cabin, and U.S. special forces responded, approaching the Quest in small boats and boarding the vessel, Vice Adm. Mark Fox, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said in a Tuesday press conference.

        Some pirates moved to bow and put up their hands in surrender. The U.S. forces killed two pirates in the course of clearing the vessel - one with a handgun and one in a close-combat knife fight. There were no injuries to U.S. forces or damage to U.S. ships, Fox said.

        The Quest was the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who had been sailing around the world since December 2004 with a yacht full of Bibles. The two other Americans on board were Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, of Seattle, Wash.

        Adam, in his mid-60s, had been an associate producer in Hollywood when he turned in a spiritual direction and enrolled in the seminary a decade ago, said Robert K. Johnston, a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena and a friend of Adam's.

        "He decided he could take his pension, and he wanted to serve God and humankind," he said.

        Johnston and Adam worked together to start a film and theology institute. Adam also taught a class on church and media at the school.

        Since 2004, the Adams lived on their yacht in Marina Del Rey for about half the year and the rest of the year they sailed around the world, often distributing Bibles in remote parts of the Fiji Islands, Alaska, New Zealand, Central America and French Polynesia, Johnston said.

        Scott and Jane Adam documented their maritime missionary work on their website, S/V Quest Adventure Log.

        "We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest," said Gen. James N. Mattis, U.S. Central Command Commander.

        Johnston said that despite an adventurous spirit, the Adams were meticulous planners who knew the dangers they faced. The couple had sailed with a large flotilla to stay safe from pirates near Thailand earlier in the trip.

        In total, the U.S. said that 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the Quest.

        Only minutes before the military said the four Americans had died, a Somali pirate told The Associated Press by phone that if the yacht was attacked, "the hostages will be the first to go."

        "Some pirates have even suggested rigging the yacht with land mines and explosives so as the whole yacht explodes with the first gunshot," said the pirate, who gave his name as Abdullahi Mohamed, who claimed to be a friend of the pirates holding the four Americans.

        Graeme Gibbon-Brooks, the head of Dryad Maritime Intelligence, said he was confounded by the turn of events.

        "We have heard threats against the lives of Americans before but it strikes me as being very, very unusual why they would kill hostages outright," he said, adding that the pirates must realize that killing Americans would invite a military response.

        The military said U.S. forces have been monitoring the Quest for about three days, since shortly after the pirate attack on Friday. Four Navy warships were involved, including an aircraft carrier.

        Last week a Somali pirate was sentenced to 33 years in prison by a New York court for the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, a U.S. cargo vessel. That hijacking ended when Navy sharpshooters killed two pirates holding the ship's captain.

    Maybe if Oliver North hand delivered a cake to the Somalis as was done for the Iranians under Reagan they would have freed the hostages?

    Oh pluuuueeze, you're breaking my heart!

    If these loud-mouth leaders take it upon themselves to Police the World, and claim they're only doing it to make the world a safer place for Everyone (American yachters too) and want us to believe them, then instead of BLAMING innocent people who are taken hostage and murdered in cold blood is the last damn thing the should do.

    If Obama has a shred of humanity in him, he would (covertly) plan to wipe out any, and every pirate POS roaming these oceans, preying on anyone, and anything out there that's not bigger and better equipped than they are.

    Those American couples had every right to expect rescue, or at least the hope of rescue by the military. No more, no less, than is given to any of our soldiers, trapped in a simular situation. JMHO!

    Remember controversy around Abby Sunderland, the 16 year old girl that sailed alone half way around the world, ran into trouble and had to be rescued?

    Here are some comments about her rescue:

    "Anyway who pays to rescue these dare devils--I am sure the parents or the person rescued doesn't!!!!! And what about when the rescuers get killed trying to rescue someone---is it all really worth it?????"

    "With multiple planes and ships, including an A380 scrambled to look for her, and various government agencies coordinating, the search probably cost upwards of $250,000.

    Is the family going to pay for that, or will the various governments' taxpayers suffer the cost of this child's hobby?"

    "What if someone dies trying to rescue her?? Just selfish and stupid."

    "I am glad the girl is going to be rescued. However who is going to rescue us, the tax payers who will end up paying for the search..."

    "Who is paying for her rescue, my taxes? Off to work I go, some girl wants her fame and ego stroked. I got to pay to save her from the fate she designed for herself.

    I want the cost of saving her listed here and who is paying for it."

    I'm still trying to understand why those who claim to support "limited government"

    You know that isn't what is meant by limited government. If you're honest with yourself you know I am speaking the truth. I know we all get caught up in blaming the other side at times. But lets be honest.

    No, conservatives are the ones who wait until after the baby is born, expose it to the elements to see if it'll survive or not.

    Lol. That is what Obama voted for in the Illinois senate.

    As to carrying on with this nasty stuff. Mine was a response to your off base statement.

    No, he could have taken the handcuffs off the navy and let them do what they exist to do

    I don't think we should try to blame this on Obama. It was the pirates fault. The navy was in charge of the situation and they did the best they were able to do. Sad it went down this way.

    It was the pirates who created this sad tragidy, you're right, but Obama is the Commander in Chief of the Navy, or any branch of our military, It was his call as leader, they Navy does what they are ordered to do by their leader. jmo...

    It is statements like that that make Americans give pause to taking you seriously.

    Why?

    You're obviously trying to make a point. So make it. What chapter and verse are you talking about?

    Like I said. It is hard to take you seriously. You just spew empty rhetoric.
