Mohammad Saaili Shibin faces piracy, kidnapping and hostage-taking charges in the 2011 hijacking of an American yacht off the coast of Africa. The yacht owners, Jean and Scott Adam of Marina del Rey, Calif., along with friends Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay of Seattle, were shot and killed days later. They were the first U.S. citizens killed in pirate attacks that have plagued the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean.
