Liveblogging Couple’s Pirate Captors May Have Been Apprehended

Seven Somali pirates who may have played a role in the kidnapping of liveblogging couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, are currently in the custody of the European Union. Their involvement is still unproven and the Chandlers remain missing.

The captured pirates’ link to the Chandlers is based on a message from “pirate spokesman” Farah Abdi who had made claims that his team held the couple captive in the first place, so some skepticism is required. I just hope my favourite sailing livebloggers are safe. [NY Times]
