Somali Pirates release Sri Lankan crew

 
Somali Pirates released a Bermudan-flagged cargo ship and its mainly Sri Lankan crew on Tuesday after a ransom was paid, the EU naval force said.

The ship was released two months after the vessel was seized off the Oman coast on March 23.

The Talca had a crew of 20 Sri Lankans, a Syrian and a Filipino.
