U.S. ship hijacked from Somalia last week, arrives home

Crew members of the U.S. merchant ship reached home and had a meeting with their families who were eagerly waiting for their arrival. The ship was seized by pirates last week and the crew members arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland on Thursday morning.

The ship was hijacked on April 8 and 19 members of the crew got back control of the ship after some hours but three pirates held the captain of the ship as hostage and later the captain was also rescued by U.S. Navy.
