TURKISH FRIGATE TCG GEDIZ (F-495) TO ESCORT HORIZON-1- OUT OF EYL

Turkish General Staff said Monday that a Turkish frigate would escort HORIZON-1 --an hijacked Turkish ship which was released earlier Monday by pirates-- out of the danger zone.

The General Staff announced on its website that Turkish Frigate TCG Gediz (F-495) dispatched to the area, had secured the ship, refuelled it and provided it with food stuff and medical aid.

It said TGC Gediz would escort Horizon-1 to its destination.
Somali pirates attacked the Turkish-flagged Horizon-1 with 23 Turkish crew members on board on July 8. The ship was en route to Jordan from Saudi Arabia. Pirates asked for ransom to release the ship and the hostages.
