Homecoming: Freed hostages meet for brunch

KARACHI: Captain Wasi and his daughter met with another hostage, Muzamil, at a brunch hosted at his house. The people that were freed after being held captive by Somali pirates said that a solution must be found to deal with the threat of pirates or the kidnappings will continue. The sailors rejoiced at their newfound freedom and recalled the months they spent as hostages. Muzzamil spoke in particular of January 30, when they had lost all hope and thought they would die. He thanked the media, the country and other representatives for rescuing not only the Pakistani hostages, but the hostages from other countries as well.
