<p>All four American hostages on a yacht taken by pirates off Somalia have been killed, the US military has said.</p>
<p>Negotiations had been under way to try to win release of the two couples on the pirated vessel Quest.</p>
<p>Gunshots were heard. </p>
<p>When US forces reached the yacht, they found all four hostages had been shot, said US Central Command.</p>
<p>The Quest was the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who had been sailing around the world since December 2004.</p>
<p>The two others on board were Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle, both from Seattle, Washington.</p>
<p>Central Command said negotiations had been under way to try to win their release.</p>
<p>&#8220;We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest,&#8221; said General James N Mattis.</p>
<p>Two pirates died during the operation, and 13 were captured and detained.</p>
<p>The remains of two other pirates who were already dead also were found. In total the US said that 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the Quest.</p>
