Somali pirates have freed without a ransom a Yemeni cargo ship captured last week, a Somali official says.

The MV Amani has left the northern Somali pirate stronghold of Eyl bound for Yemen, said Ali Abdi Aware, a minister in breakaway Puntland region.

Somali pirates have raked in millions of dollars in ransoms from attacks in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

One gang is still holding a Saudi oil tanker seized last month - the largest vessel hijacked so far.

I am glad that ship and crew have been relised. I however also think that they were not relised for nothing. The source article says it was relised with out ransom. I just do think some agreement or some thing was given for the rlise. Point being the pirates would relise the ship for nothing. So if you have any ideas for what transpired, please do post them.
