After nearly 32 months of being held captive on board the cargo ship MV Iceberg, five Indians sailors released by Somali pirates returned home on Saturday.
Life is going to start afresh for six Indian seafarers, held hostage along with 17 others for nearly three years by the Somalian pirates, as they reach their homes on Saturday.
Twenty two hostages, including five Indians, who had been kidnapped by Somali pirates nearly three years ago have been freed. Forces of Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region said their maritime force began the operation to free the hostages, and their ship, nearly two weeks ago.
