Marine forces in Puntland receive two coffins containing the remains of slain Somali pirates on April 30, 2009 at the northern port town of Bosasso. The U.S. Navy handed over today three dead bodies of pirates they killed during the April 12 rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, local officials said. US snipers shot dead the three on March 12 to rescue captain Richard Phillips held hostage for five days by Somali pirates on a life boat after the men's attempt to seize the Maersk Alabama ship was thwarted by crew members.
