Not the Faina, yet

Fox News has the story:

Soldiers of a regional government, with guns blazing, freed a cargo ship Tuesday that pirates had held off the Somali coast for five days, according to an official from the region. The ship and the eleven crew members — nine Syrians and two Somalis — were freed after a gunbattle in which one soldier was killed and three wounded, said Deputy Seaport Minister Abdiqadir Muse Geele. No hostages or pirates were hurt, Geele said.
The ten pirates who had held the ship since Thursday surrendered when they ran out of ammunition, said Geele, who is a deputy minister in the government of the northern Somalia semiautonomous region of Puntland.
The US Navy said Somali pirates had not followed through on their threat to blow up an arms-laden Ukrainian ship.
The vessel, carrying a crew of 20 and a cargo of heavy weapons, is still in one piece, said Lieutenant Stephanie Murdock, a spokeswoman for the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. Pirates had threatened to destroy MV Faina by early Tuesday unless ransom was paid. American warships continue to monitor the Faina, which is docked near the Somali port of Hobyo, Murdock said. A spokesman for the pirates said Monday they were considering extending the deadline. They have held the ship and its crew for almost three weeks.
