I was wondering the same thing. Latest from AP on the American/Somali confrontation, Crew member tells AP shipmate held by pirates

"WASHINGTON (AP) — A crew member aboard the vessel hijacked by pirates is telling The Associated Press that his ship mates are trying to rescue a crew member still being held.

Colin Wright, who identified himself as a third mate aboard the ship, said, "Somalian pirates have one of our crew members in our lifeboat and we are trying to recover that crew member."

Asked whether that crew member was the ship's captain, Collin told the AP he couldn't say anything else. Earlier, a person aboard the ship told the AP that it was the captain who was being held by the pirates.

At one point, the pirates had held the boat and the entire crew of Americans. Said Collin: "We're really busy right now, but you can call back in an hour or two.""

LOL. We're really busy, call back later.
