Muse’s lawyers deny that he threatened the Win Far 161’s captain, insisting that the feds “mistranslated” certain Somali words and “misinterpreted” his phone conversations with a woman they identify as his mother. The Win Far 161, a Taiwanese fishing vessel with a crew of about 30, was hijacked in April 2009 and held for 10 months until its owner paid an unspecified ransom to secure its release. “According to the government, Victor’s account was corroborated by ‘two of Muse’s prison call recordings,'” the Manhattan federal court filing says. The directive followed an FBI interview of Gilbert Victor, the freed captain of a hijacked yacht named the Serenity, who said a Somali pirate told him that Muse “had sent a message from prison ‘instructing the pirate crew to kill the captain of the Win Far 161.'” The Somali pirate who led the 2009 hijacking of an American cargo ship was locked up in solitary confinement for allegedly ordering the murder of another hijacked vessel’s captain from jail, court papers filed this morning reveal.Ībduwali Abdukhadir Muse was tossed into a “small cell with blackened windows” in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center on orders from Attorney General Eric Holder on Jan.
