Mumbai, Jan 28 (PTI) Somali pirates are hiring interpreters to overcome the English language barrier so as to communicate with their hostages and negotiate with respective governments to arrive at a ransom amount for the release of captives.
This was revealed by five Indian sailors, who were held hostage on-board the merchant vessel 'Iceberg I' for about three years, before their release last month.
