Contact with the crew of the Egyptian ship hijacked by Somali pirates last
week has been cut for the past two days, according to a source at Red Sea
Navigation, the shipping company that operates the ship.
Company President Abdel Meguid Matar said he had been informed that the
Eritrean government, which owns the ship's cargo, was currently in the
process of negotiating the ship's release.
Mohamed Sobhi, owner of the hijacked vessel, for his part, reiterated his
refusal to pay an exhorbitant ransom.
