Somali pirates case: Full ransom still not collected
Ansar Burney says pirates have said they will not extend nine-day deadline any further.
The full amount of ransom money has not yet been collected for the release of the Pakistani sailors being held in the captivity of Somali pirates.
The total ransom demanded $2.1 million. So far $1.6 million have been collected by the shipping company and Pakistani philanthropists.
Indian Senator KD Singh had assured that the remaining $500,000 would be transferred to a Dubai bank, but the amount has still not been received.
Human Rights activist Ansar Burney said the Somali pirates have made it clear that they will not extend their nine-day deadline any further.
