Somali Pirates Free Malaysian Chemical
Tanker After Ransom Paid
By Hamsa Omar
Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Somali pirates released a Malaysian
chemical tanker today after a $2 million ransom was paid, an
official said.
Pirates released the tanker, called the Bunga Melati 5, after
``a $2 million ransom was paid,''
Andrew Mwangura, head of the Mombassa-based East Africa
Seafarers' Assistance Program, told Bloomberg by phone today.
Somalia's 3,300-kilometer (2,060-mile) coastline is considered
one of the world's most dangerous stretches of water because of
piracy. The number of attacks on vessels in the region more than
tripled last year to 31 incidents, compared with 10 a year earlier,
according to the International Maritime Bureau.
