Crewman says pirate glad to have attacked US ship

A crewman from the Maersk Alabama says the sole surviving pirate -- who now faces charges in the U.S. -- seemed happy that he'd raided an American vessel.

The crewman -- "Zahid" Reza -- says Abdiwali Muse told him it was his dream to come to the USA. Reza stabbed Muse in the hand during a struggle on the ship and guarded him for several hours.

Muse appeared in federal court in New York yesterday. A complaint unsealed at the hearing says he was the first to board the American ship, firing an AK47 at the captain and ordering him to stop the vessel.

A public defender says it's possible Muse was kidnapped into a life of piracy.

Prosecutors say Muse is 18 but defense lawyers believe he's 15.
