Once again, the Somali Pirates released a Yemeni fishing ship they hijacked earlier this month. The ship MV Falluja reached port of Aden on Saturday after pirates feed it and it is not clear whether or not a ransom was paid.
On December 10th, the Somali pirates took control of two Yemeni ships - the MV Falluja and MV Qana'a - an took 22 fishermen hostage. While they released MV Falluja, the pirates still hold the other Yemeni ship - MV Qana'a.
The two ships were hijacked while they sailed off the Mait area near the southern port city of Aden. Before the Somali pirates took over the vessels, several fishermen crew members escaped on a small boat and returned to Aden where they reported the hijacking to the Yemeni Coast Guard Authority.
Earlier in December 2008, Somali pirates freed a Yemeni cargo ship two weeks after they hijacked it in the Arabian Sea and demanded USD 2m in ransom. However, that ship was released without ransom after negotiations between the pirates and Somali tribal leaders.
