Somali pirates holding an American captain of a Danish freighter hostage are demanding a ransom to free him, a pirate commander told AFP Friday, without specifying the amount.
"We are demanding to get ransom and to return home safely before releasing the captain," Abdi Garad told AFP by phone from Somalia's northern pirate lair of Eyl.
Garad also said their men were negotating with the US navy "not to be arrested if they release the captain and the American officials will hopefully fulfil that condition otherwise the captain will not be released."
