The Spanish government apparently is considering giving in to the threats of Somali pirates by releasing two of their compatriots detained in Madrid.
The two pirates were part of a group that seized the Spanish fishing trawler Alakrana at the beginning of October. They were arrested by the Spanish navy two days after the hijacking. The criminals holding the Alakrana have threatened to kill her crew unless the demand is met. The pirates also want $4 million in ransom for the release of the ship and crew.
