Capt. Richard Phillips of Underhill, Vt. is the American captain held hostage by four Somali pirates. He made a desperate escape attempt on Friday April 10, 2009 but was recaptured. Phillips was seized after the pirates fail to hijack the Alabama, which was carrying food aid for hungry people in Somalia, Rwanda and Uganda.
This undated image made available in London, Wednesday April 8, 2009 by Maersk Line, shows the 17,000-ton container ship Maersk Alabama, when it was operating under the name Maersk Alva, which has been hijacked by Somalia pirates with 20 crew members aboard while sailing from Salalah in Oman to the Kenyan port of Mombassa via Djibouti.
