pup> Piracy_MapVoA News: Somali pirates are reported to have released a
Kuwaiti oil tanker held since late March.  A piracy watchdog group says the
pirates were paid $12 million to release the ship.

The 29-member crew is said to be doing okay.  The MV Zirku was captured in
the Gulf of Aden while sailing to Singapore from Sudan.

Somali pirates continue to terrorize shipping in the Indian Ocean and
Arabian Sea and nearby waters, despite international naval patrols.  The
pirates have hijacked dozens of ships and received hundreds of millions of
dollars in ransom payments in the past few years.
