17:3506/05/2010 MOSCOW, May 6 (RIA Novosti) - Russia has not yet decided whether or not to send the Somali pirates captured after a mission to rescue the Moscow University tanker to Moscow, a Russian Investigative Committee spokesman said Thursday.

Commandos from the Marshal Shaposhnikov ship on Thursday freed the tanker after it had been seized by Somali pirates on Wednesday.

"The issue of bringing them to Moscow has not been raised yet," Vladimir Markin said.

Earlier an investigator said the detained pirates could be brought to Moscow.
