Pirater frigiver Asian Glory efter halvt år

Somaliske pirater har frigivet bilskibet Asian Glory og dets 25 mand store besætning. Det sydkoreansk drevne men britisk flagede skib blev kapret den 2. januar, og har siden bl.a. været brugt som moderskib ved flere kapringsforsøg.

Asian Glory blev ifølge EU Navfor frigivet efter, at en ukendt stor løsesum blev droppet på skibet fredag morgen, mens det lå for anker ud for den somaliske havneby Garacad.

Piraterne havde oprindelig krævet en løsesum på 15 millioner dollar, men det faktisk udbetalte beløb er formentlig en hel del mindre.

Bilskibet og dets 25 mand store besætning, der meldes at være i god behold, er nu på vej til en sikker havn.

Asian Glory var på vej fra Singapore til Saudi-Arabien, da det blev kapret mere end 500 sømil fra den somaliske kyst.
