Update: Somali Pirates Free 7 Danes

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Rick SpilmanSeptember 7, 2011

Last February we posted that Somali pirates had hijacked a Danish sailboat with four adults and three children aboard.   Yesterday, the Danish Foreign Ministry announced seven Danish citizens, including a family with three children had been released. It has been reported that the pirates were paid a $3 million ransom on Tuesday.
