NAIROBI, Kenya - Pentagon officials said Wednesday that the American crew of a U.S.-flagged cargo ship had retaken control from Somali pirates who hijacked the vessel far off the Horn of Africa....
U.S. official said the crew had retaken control and had one pirate in custody.
"The crew is back in control of the ship," a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak on the record. "It's reported that one pirate is on board under crew control ? the other three were trying to flee."
Another U.S. official, citing a readout from an interagency conference call, said: "Multiple reliable sources are now reporting that the Maersk Alabama is now under control of the U.S. crew."
