BACK TO LIFE:One of the six Indian sailors held captive by Somali pirates for over 10 months in the m.v. Suez cargo vessel being received by family members and well-wishers in New Delhi on Friday. He is among the 22 sailors freed after Pakistan social activist Ansar Burney arranged for a $2.1 million ransom.

Three of the five Pakistani sailors rescued by the Indian Navy from Somali pirates are seen at the Yellow Gate police station in Mumbai on Friday. They will leave for their homeland on Monday.
