Somali pirates free 7 BD crew after 3.5 yrs
Sunday, 8 June 2014
Seven Bangladeshi crew members abducted by Somali pirates on November 26 in 2010 have been released almost three and a half years after their captivity. The ill-fated Bangladeshi crew members were kidnapped when they were on board a Malaysian flag carrier. "The 7 Bangladeshis have just been released by their captors and are being flown to Nairobi by a special aircraft of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Kenya," a foreign ministry press release said Saturday. -- BSS
