Somali pirates have freed a German cargo ship after receiving a multi-million dollar ransom. The ship, MV Susan K and its crew of 10 had been held since April. According to officials, the ship will now head to Djibouti. The European Union naval task force said the pirates currently hold at least 30 vessels and more than 650 hostages. Somali pirates have hijacked dozens of ships in recent years and taken in hundreds of millions of dollars in ransom money.
