This is very strange and could be a set up? Although I don't think money will be handed over. So much publicty will make these pirates demand a ransom.

Wow, you mean the 'kidnappers' aren't really Somali pirates? First I've heard of that theory Mark, but yes could be they are friends of the couple doing the deed.
I have always thought it odd that they were captured at a point nearer to Seychelles than to Somalia, that is suspicious.

It does make you wonder and sounds a little suspicious.

Seems gone quite about these two being captured by Somalia pirates.

Apparently a leak report to a number of newpapers from a Royal Navy personal said " There unarmed Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel, a replenishment tanker was 50 feet away when they saw the couple being taken off their boat by the priates, but they didn't have any snipers on there at the time.
