Somali hijackers free Jordanian ship

Somali pirates have released a Jordanian-flagged cargo ship hijacked last week off the lawless coast of the Horn of Africa nation, a shipping agent said on Friday. The Victoria, owned by a United Arab Emirates company, was carrying 4 200 tonnes of sugar in humanitarian aid sent from Denmark to the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
