Some of the five Somali pirates arrested for the hijacking of South Korean freighter Samho Jewelry in the Arabian Sea in January turned out to have participated in the kidnapping of its sister ship, the Samho Dream, that was
released last year after the payment of a huge ransom, prosecutors here said Friday.
Two dozen crew members of the Samho Dream were released last November from seven months of captivity in Somalia after its owner, the Busan-based Samho Shipping, reportedly handed over more than US$9 million in ransom.
