Ship now free after $3M ransom paid.

"All our people have now left the Sirius Star. The ship is free, the crew is free," Mohamed Said, one of the leaders of the pirate group, told the AFP news agency.
A man described as an associate of the pirates, Farah Osman, added that the pirates released the ship after receiving a $3m (£1.95m) ransom payment.
"Pirates holding the Saudi ship took $3m yesterday evening and then released the ship this morning," he told Reuters news agency.
