The crew of a Korean fishing boat, who were taken hostage by Somalian militants in April, will soon be on their way home. The Foreign Ministry says the 25 crew members were released under an agreement between the boat's owner Dongwon Fisheries, and the militants. The crew includes eight Koreans, nine Indonesians, five Vietnamese and three Chinese. The militants seized the vessel on April 4, while it was fishing off the coast of Somalia.
