Four Indonesian seamen who were kidnapped and held hostage by Somali pirates aboard an oil tanker for more than five months arrived back home on Tuesday, an Agence France-Presse reporter saw.
The men were among 17 crew rescued a week ago when maritime police from the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in northern Somalia stormed the Palau-flagged MT Honour 25 tanker that was hijacked in April.
Before the vessel could be recaptured, the pirates had already killed five crew members – three Pakistanis, an Indian and a Myanmar national – according to a Puntland police statement.
The four Indonesians were received at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport by their families and officials including Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir.
