U.S. Crew of Hijacked Ship Regains Control from Somali Pirates

The 21-member U.S. crew of a Danish-owned shipping vessel hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean has reportedly regained control of the ship.

Earlier this morning pirates seized control of the Maersk Alabama as it was heading to the Kenyan port of Mombasa to deliver humanitarian aid. Reports suggested that the shipping vessel had come under attack last night and was under siege for nearly five hours before the pirates were able to board the vessel.

While Maersk has not confirmed that the crew had regained control of the vessel the Pentagon has said they have had communication with the crew and confirmed that the ship was back in their hands. The crew is said to have one pirate in custody while another three were said to have jumped from the ship.
