News about the Chandlers

1  comments

Back in October, a British couple sailing in the Indian Ocean were captured by Somali pirates. Their ordeal has been a nightmare. They were separated for a while but seem to have been re-united. They have been in poor health not surprisingly.

According to Guardian, things are getting worse as Islamic militants linked to Al Quaeda have moved into the area. They offered to pay the ransom for the Chandlers to what end we can only imagine. The pirates did not accept their offer and are now on the run with them.

Lets all keep the Chandlers and the other 300 hostages in our thoughts and hope that the British or other authorities find a way to secure their release.
