Piracy: Freed Germans airlifted to Kenya

The two Germans freed by Somali pirates off the coast of Somalia after being held captive for five weeks have been flown to Nairobi, Kenya, a regional maritime official said Monday. Andrew Mwangura, East African Coordinator of the Seafarers Assistance Programme (SAP), said the 63-year-old Juergen K and the 51-year-old Sabine M, who were kidnapped on 23 June this year, are expected to fly to Germany early next week.
