  "account": "Four members of the Pakistani crew aboard the hijacked oil tanker MT Honour 25, along with the remains of three others killed during the recovery operation off Somalia's coast, were transported to Karachi on Sunday, according to the Foreign Office. Ambassador to Djibouti and Ethiopia witnessed the departure of the four injured crew members - Usman Ghani, Aqeel Khan, Ameen bin Shams and Yasir Khan - along with the bodies of Rafi Ullah Khan, Syed Kashif Umer and Mahmood Ahmad Ansari. The group arrived in Karachi on Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 694. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had initially notified that four crew members were safely retrieved following the efforts of the FO and Pakistan's embassy in Djibouti, with the remains of the deceased crew members being repatriated. The Honour 25, originally sailing under the Somali flag from Oman to Somalia, had 17 crew members on board, with 10 being Pakistani nationals. The pirates, under pressure during the rescue, fired indiscriminately before fleeing the ship, resulting in five deaths - three Pakistanis and two others. The remaining crew and captain are still on the vessel.",
