Subject: RE: BS: Update on Somali Pirates
Unfortunately events may be about to take a turn for the worse for the Chandlers. Latest reports are that Islamic militants are heading for the area where they're being held with a view to 'liberating' them from the pirates. On past form, the pirates are only interested in a ransom. The militants however want two Western hostages and I don't think they'll be interested in issuing ransom demands.
