Somali pirates free Thai fishermen after 4 years
Four Thai nationals seized from a fishing vessel by Somali pirates nearly five years ago have been released, the UN and local officials have said.
It is believed that they spent longer in captivity than any other victims of Somali piracy.
The four were among 24 crew members seized in April 2010 after pirates hijacked the Taiwan-flagged fishing vessel FV Prantalay 12.
With falling piracy in the region how long will it be until the threat subsides?
