Somali pirates free British couple after 388 days | Somalian pirates have freed Kent couple Paul and Rachel Chandler 388 days after they were kidnapped from their yacht. Acciording to The Telegraph, the Chandlers are now
under the protection of local government officials close to Somalia ’s border
with Ethiopia , and are expected to fly to safety in Kenya later on Sunday. It
is understood that a ransom was paid. The British Foreign Office did not confirm
this, and only said they were “investigating” the reports. A spokesman for the
Chandlers ’ family could not immediately be reached. Sources in the Somali town
of Adado , 220 miles northwest of Mogadishu , said the Chandlers were “safe and
well” and would be offered food and a shower at the home of the town’s governor,
