Some of the 26 Asian sailors released after being held captive by Somali pirates for more than four years become emotional as they arrive at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the capital Nairobi, Kenya, on Sunday. Ten of the hostages are Chinese, including nine from the Chinese mainland and one from Taiwan, and will return home, said the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday. In March 2012, 29 sailors on a fishing vessel were hijacked by Somali pirates. Three of them died after the hijacking, including one from the Chinese mainland and one from Taiwan.SD-Agencies |
