Pirates reduce ransom for Chandlers after pressure from abroad

'The pirates who captured a retired British couple four months ago have dismissed growing pressure from the Somali diaspora for their unconditional release but are reducing their ransom demands.'

From the folks at Noonsite (http://www.noonsite.com/Members/sue/R2010-02-25-1/view) and http://www.savethechandlers.com/

Progress is being made, I hope their release comes swiftly.
