Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship

A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that was hijacked by pirates. Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died. The vessel’s declared cargo consists of “minerals” and “industrial products”. But officials involved in negotiations over the ship are convinced that it was sailing for Eritrea to deliver small arms and chemical weapons to Somalia’s Islamist rebels.

What makes the story strange; is that nothing is said about the crew: If the cargo effectvely carried dangerous stuff like nuclear as it is suggested? Then the crew should have suffered from similar or even worse diseases...

If the article is true two explanations come into my mind: either iranians are supermen or the adage "Ba alleh Ali har que dar oftad bar oftad" is really true; who knows....
