#1 In a statement, MSF said: “MSF believes that the intruders aimed to physically harm the Bourbon Argos’s staff but thanks to the sound security procedures enacted, all team members were safe. Nothing was taken during the incident and the damage to the ship was only minimal.”

Horsefeathers! They were doing a fast in-and-out raid for hostages to hold for ransom.

No mention if anything was taken. Curious.
