Captured pirate arrives in US

The sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of an American ship captain arrived in New York today, smiling for a gaggle of cameras and reporters as US federal agents led him into custody to face charges in the attack.

Abduhl Wali-i-Musi was handcuffed and had a chain wrapped around his waist. His left hand was heavily bandaged from the wound he suffered during the skirmish on the ship two weeks ago.
