Paul and Rachel Chandler: Police should have led rescue bid

A couple kidnapped by Somali pirates have criticised the government for putting the Foreign Office in charge of their case, rather than police.

Giving evidence to MPs, Paul and Rachel Chandler said since police had expertise in handling kidnapping cases they should have been put in charge.

The couple, formerly from Kent but now living in Devon, were seized from their yacht near the Seychelles in 2009.

They said the Foreign Office could only offer "tea and sympathy" for relatives.

People who are a nuicance shouldn't be cheeky as well.
