NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Somali pirates have freed two hijacked merchant ships, including one that had just delivered U.N. food aid when it was seized more than a month ago with 12 crew on board, a maritime official said Saturday.
The ships, the U.N.-chartered MV Rozen and the Indian-flagged MV Nimatullah, were sailing out of Somali waters, said Andrew Mwangura, head of the Kenyan chapter of the Seafarers Assistance Program. Both were released late Friday.
"All the crew are safe aboard both vessels," said Mwangura.
