| 2010-01-18 |
MOGADISHU (Reuters) – Somali pirates freed a Greek-flagged tanker carrying 2 million barrels of oil for a record ransom on Monday and witnesses said four pirates were killed in a clash between rival groups over the cash.
The release of the ship came a day after the money was dropped onto its deck.
An aircraft dropped a ransom believed to be between $5.5 million and $7 million onto the vessel on Sunday, officials said. |
