ADVERTISEMENT "There are not any developments still on the standoff with the American officials," pirate commander Abdi Garad told AFP by phone from the northern Somali pirate lair of Eyl. "We are planning to transfer the hostage on to one of the ships our friends are holding around Garacad area so that we can wait," he added without specifying which ship. Only four pirates have been guarding Captain Richard Phillips on the lifeboat, and transferring him to a larger ship could give them better defences as the US military seeks to free him. Garad's comments came after French commandos on Friday stormed a yacht held by Somali pirates in an operation that left one French hostage and two gunmen dead. "I'm afraid this matter is likely to create disaster because it's taking too long and we are getting information that the Americans are planning rescue tricks like the French commandos did," Garad said. Phillips has been held on a lifeboat since Wednesday when four pirates hijacked the Danish-operated Maersk Alabama aid ship, which was carrying 5,000 tonnes of UN aid destined for African refugees. On Friday, Phillips jumped into the water and tried to swim towards the nearby US destroyer the USS Bainbridge, but the pirates jumped in and recaptured him.
