After Somali pirates received 3 million euro ($4.5 million dollars) as ransom for a Spanish fishing boat, they began an argument over how to divide up the money and engaged in a gunfight. A local journalist from Harardhere, a pirate stronghold in central Somalia, told CNN today that at least two pirates were wounded in the shoot-out.
The Spanish boat with all 36 crew members was released on Tuesday, after being held for 47 days, the Spanish Prime Minister reported.
