Somali Pirates Release Hostages Paul and Rachel Chandler

Somali pirates released a British couple from captivity on Sunday, ending a yearlong drama in which the pair was moved, separated and moved several times again as negotiations to win their release stalled over the amount of ransom to be paid. The pirates turned Paul and Rachel Chandler over to local Somali authorities near the central town of Adado on Saturday. From there, they flew to the capital Mogadishu, where they met with officials from the Transitional Federal Government before leaving for Nairobi on Sunday night. "We're fine. We are rather skinny and bony, but we're fine," Paul Chandler told the BBC on Sunday. Official photographs released by the Somali government showed them smiling and looking healthy as they met with Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.
