BBC News - Somali pirates free UK couple Paul and Rachel Chandler

A retired British couple have been released by Somali pirates after being held captive for more than a year.

Paul, 60, and Rachel Chandler, 56, from Kent, were seized from their yacht off the Seychelles in October 2009.

Mrs Chandler said: "I'm enjoying being free". The couple said they were fine, but will undergo medical checks.

Well, at least it is in time for Christmas, it is amazing that this can go on in this century.
