Pirates release ship after ransom paid
SOMALI pirates have released the entire crew of a Belgian ship after a ransom was paid, the Belgian government said yesterday.
The crew of the dredger Pompei, which was seized ten weeks ago, were in good health and were sailing the ship to an unidentified harbour where it will arrive in a few days, the government said. The ten crew members will then fly home.
