An American ship captain was freed unharmed Sunday in a swift firefight that killed three of the four Somali pirates who had been holding him for days in a lifeboat off the coast of Africa, the ship’s owner said.

A senior U.S. intelligence official said a pirate who had been involved in negotiations to free Capt. Richard Phillips but who was not on the lifeboat was in custody.

Phillips, 53, of Underhill, Vt., was safely transported to a Navy warship nearby.

We have been watching CNN while we finished our Easter Dinner - Lots of info there - You can take your pick as it is the Top News everywhere.  The family in Underhill is not talking to the press.
