The Somali pirates are set to free the 26 Bangladeshi hostages on board MV Jahan Moni whom they abducted more than three months ago along with the ship from near the Lakkha Dip in the Indian ocean, foreign ministry officials said, report agencies.

"They are expected to be released tomorrow evening or Monday morning after successful negotiations with the abductors through different channels," additional foreign secretary Mostafa Kamal told newsmen Saturday.

Somalian pirates hijacked the ship with its 25 sailors and wife of the chief engineer of the ship on December 5, he said. They are unharmed, safe and sound as well as in good health. The ship was going to Greece from Indonesia with 43,000 MT of nickel, he added.
