An official says Somalia's military has rescued 8 Indian crew members who had been held hostage by pirates.
Abdullahi Ahmed Ali, the mayor of Hobyo, told The Associated Press that the sailors of a ship hijacked last week were rescued after regional forces surrounded their pirate captors in a small village outside Hobyo town.
