MOGADISHU, Somalia — A dispute erupted between authorities in Somalia and the Seychelles on Monday after the island nation released 23 suspected Somali pirates in what appeared to be a trade for hostages from the Seychelles.
Authorities in the Seychelles denied that they had agreed to swap the captured pirates for the three freed hostages. Somali officials nonetheless stopped the former hostages — held since their yacht Serenity was seized in February — from returning to the Seychelles on Monday.
