Somali authorities have surrounded a village in which seven Danish hostages are thought to be being held by pirates and have offered the abductors safe conduct if they release the four adults and three children who were hijacked on Feb. 24.
The offer was made on Monday morning during a meeting between Puntland authorities and pirates in the hamlet of Hul-Anod in Puntland, according to Said Adam Ali, mayor of the closest major town of Bandar Beyla.
