THE bodies of 20 Bangladesh fishermen tied up and thrown into the deep sea in an apparent pirate attack have been recovered, officials say.
The bodies were found in the Bay of Bengal, where pirates have created a reign of terror by routinely robbing, kidnapping and extorting money from fishermen working along the coastline.
"Today our boats have found 17 bodies floating about 12 kilometres west of the lighthouse of Kutubdia Island," Navy commander Mustafizur Rahman told AFP on Tuesday.
Three bodies were recovered by a fishing boat on Monday.
"All the bodies were in decomposed state. They had their hands tied up and were thrown in deep sea," Rahman added.
Deputy police chief in Cox's Bazaar town, Imran Bhuiyan, told AFP the pirates appeared to have thrown the men into the sea alive and stolen the engine, fishing nets and catch on the fishing boat.
Last August, Bangladesh authorities said they had rescued at least 60 fishermen abducted by pirates in the Bay of Bengal, but attempts by naval and air forces to crack down on criminal activity at sea have proved futile.
