Good Morning America aired this exclusive photo of the 3 Somali pirates who were executed by Navy SEAL snipers during a daring rescue of an American ship captain.

The barefoot pirates are pictured holding automatic weapons on the deck of the Maersk container ship they had just hijacked. A Maersk crew member snapped the photo last week just after the pirates gained control of the ship.

The sea thugs were killed by Navy SEAL snipers on Sunday after they held Capt. Richard Pillips captive for 5-days in a lifeboat.

A fourth Somali pirate, a teenager, is now in U.S. custody and will be brought to the U.S. to face trial.
