The Chandlers are free at last :According to Mohamed Aden "Tiiceey". mastermind behind the kidnapping

Somali pirates have on Sunday liberated British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler, ending a torment that started when their yacht was hijacked off the peaceful shores of the Seychelles a year ago.
Somaliweyn correspondent said the Chandlers arrived in Adado, a central Somali town near the Ethiopian border, after the pirates handed them over to the forces of the local self-proclaimed administration of Himan and Heeb.
The aged Chandlers looked weary but happy as they were given mobile phones to make calls as soon as they entered the safety of the compound housing the administration headquarters under heavy guard.
"They are OK. They are being given breakfast now," said Abdi Mohamed Helmi "Hangul", a Somali medical doctor who was instrumental in the Chandlers' release.
"They look in comparatively good health but they need to be checked," he told Somaliweyn website over the phone in Adado. "Security is huge here, inside and outside the compound, nothing can happen to them now."
The Chandlers were wearing the same clothes they have worn during most of their captivity and were invited to take a shower upon arriving at the compound of Habar-gidir haye)sup-saleeban)  leader the mastermind behind the kidnapping A deal was struck with the pirates this week and although no official involved in the negotiation spoke of a ransom, local elders in the region said the Chandlers were exchanged for money.
The couple was driven overnight from the central Somali town of Amara, around which they spent most of their captivity, to Adado.
The freed couple from the southern English region of Kent was expected in the coming hours to fly out of Adado, where an aircraft is waiting for them, and stop in Nairobi before going home to their friends and relatives.
A local elder had told Somaliweyn on Saturday that the pirates had agreed to free the Chandlers following the payment of 320,000 dollars on top of 400,000 dollars already received during an aborted release attempt earlier this year.
"Close to 320,000 dollars has been paid to the pirates, the hostages are only waiting to be transferred now," Yasin Jama, an elder in Adado, had said Saturday before the Chandlers left Amara.
The British government has a strict policy of not paying any ransoms.
The money known to have been paid to the pirates, a considerably smaller amount than what their colleagues have been earning from ship-owners for cargo, fishing and other vessels, is believed to have been gathered by the Chandler family and members of the Somali Diaspora.
The Chandlers were kidnapped on October 23 last year, a day after leaving the Seychelles, where they had spent several weeks on holiday.
