Kidnap and Hostage

For the first time ever, Somali pirates have hijacked and taken hostage three children aged 12-16 along with their parents and two crew members in the Indian ocean.  This comes only days after the killing of four Americans last week.

Three children have been taken hostage by Somali pirates, the first time youngsters have been caught up in the continuing run of high seas hijacks.

They were with four adults on  a Danish yacht crossing the Indian Ocean.

Most hostages captured in the waters off East Africa are professional sailors, not families. Pirates are not known to have captured children before.
