Pirates use the "Barbecued Goat" defense

Barbecued Billigoats!

The pirates who were captured by French commandos after storming the luxury yacht Le Ponant are using an unusual defense.

In the trial under way in Paris they say they should be given credit for their awfully nice behaviour. They even - it seems - brought goats so that they could lay on a barbecue for their captives.

Slightly more here.

Nancy Blackett would be so pleased.
