Kidnapped Indonesian sailors plea for government's help

Jakarta, NU Online The captain of a ship carrying 20 Indonesian sailors kidnapped by Somali pirates almost a month ago made an impassioned plea to the president to intervene on Sunday. “To the Indonesian government, please rescue us,” Slamet Jauhari said by telephone. The pirates were demanding $2.5 million in ransom, he said, and had threatened to raise the amount unless they received confirmation from the ship’s owner or the Indonesian government that the money would be paid.
