Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar announced that four of ten Pakistani crew members from the hijacked MT Honour 25 oil tanker will arrive in Karachi on October 3. The Foreign Office and Pakistan’s embassy in Djibouti coordinated efforts to free these crew members after pirates attacked the vessel off Somalia's coast on April 21. Sadly, three other Pakistani crew members died during the ordeal, and their remains are being repatriated as well.
