LONDON (AFP) – Pirates holding a British couple hostage in Somalia are split on whether to demand a ransom or prisoner exchange to free them, one of their captors said Saturday, as Britain insisted it would not pay for their release.
Paul and Rachel Chandler, who are aged 59 and 55, were sailing near the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean on their yacht the Lynn Rival when pirates seized them on October 23.
